<\/em><\/p>\nPresenters are among some of the top C diff. thought leaders and include healthcare professionals, practitioners, educators and patients who are transforming the patient experience, and changing the way people experience C. diff.\u00a0infections, worldwide.<\/p>\n
Unlike other presentations on this topic, patients will share their\u00a0C. diff.\u00a0infection journeys, providing a real-world perspective on the patient experience. Other topics addressed will include creating a culture for patient-centered care, C. diff. innovations, diagnostics, research, environmental safety, clinical trials and studies, C diff. in pediatric patients and more.<\/p>\n
All presentations will be designed for the lay person to easily understand and attendees will be able to ask questions directly to the keynote speakers via a live chat feature after each presentation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe live chat feature is one we\u2019re excited about and believe the attendees will embrace to have their questions answered by the keynote speakers,\u201d Nancy Caralla, C Diff Foundation founding president and executive director, says.<\/p>\n
