MEMBERS

The Polish Society for Sterile Supply Managers (PSSSM) was founded in Bydgoszcz in November 1995. By autumn 2001, the Society had more than 160 members.

The PSSSM has three categories of members:

• Individual Members - managers for Central Service who are nurses, biologists, pharmacists and engineers.
• Supporting Members - companies who are active within the sphere of interest of the society.
• Honorary Members - can be awarded by the Society at the annual meeting.

ACTIVITIES

The PSSSM collaborates closely with corresponding Polish societies such as the Polish Society for Hospital Infections Control, The Infection Control Nurses and The National Institute of Hygiene. We are also cooperating with international organisations such as the ESH society (the last ESH Conference took place in Warsaw in 1998).

The main activity of the Society is an annual General Congress, held in April every year. In 2001, the VII General Congress took place.

We are also working in committees to implement our activities in the fields of Sterilization Process Standardization, Sterilization Control and CSSD Staff Training.

PUBLICATIONS

The official publication of PSSSM is "Biuletyn", which appears 4 times a year. There we publish all news about PSSSM and general news about standarisation, validation and sterilization control.
