IPC care champions
The aim of the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) care champion forum is to facilitate liaison between the Lancashire County Council IPC nurses and care providers working within the community, to expand knowledge and skills whilst developing networking opportunities.
All infection prevention and control care champions are expected to attend IPC forums at least three times per year.
The infection prevention and control care champion will support staff on matters concerned with IPC and become a role model initiating best practice in infection prevention and control issues within their working area.

IPC Care Champion awards 2026
Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our IPC Care Champion Awards event, which was due to take place on Tuesday, 20th October 2026. The decision was made as we had not received a sufficient number of nominations to allow us to hold the event this year. We'd like to extend our sincerest thanks to everyone who submitted a nomination and took the time to highlight the outstanding efforts and achievements of their respective teams.
We will be contacting those from whom we have received nominations separately in the coming weeks to inform them of the outcome of their submissions.
