SURF Workshop 9 -
February 2012
Members received updates and contributed to the
development of two studies, both are the result of SURF identified research
priorities:
- Infection prevention and control education for
undergraduate nurses and allied health
professionals, and
- Patient's experiences of MRSA screening.
A presentation was delivered by research staff
from the University of West London's Richard Wells
Research Centre on a current observational
research study. A speaker from INVOLVE attended
to deliver a presentation and encourage discussion
on research ethics. Members also brainstormed
ideas for recruiting additional SURF members and for
presentations for the 2012 INVOLVE conference.

SURF Workshop 8 -
October 2011
At the workshop
progress was made on a joint SURF / HCAI Network
research project focusing on Infection Prevention
and Control education of undergraduate nurses and
Allied Health Professionals. Members reviewed the
results of an online survey and discussed the next
phase of the project.
Members presented
updates on research projects they have been involved
with and there was a short discussion of member’s
current areas of interest to inform future research
priorities for SURF. Esmita Charani from Imperial
College London delivered a presentation for SURF on
antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance.

International
Conference on Infection Prevention and Control
June/ July 2011
An academic poster which
highlights some of the work SURF and the HCAI
Research Network have undertaken was presented at
the First International Conference of Prevention and
Infection Control in Geneva. The poster explained
the benefits of public involvement in HCAI research
to the international audience and outlined some
collaborative projects which have arisen from SURF
identified research priorities.

SURF's poster - Lay Involvement in HCAI Research -
was displayed alongside posters about other HCAI
research at this one day event in Leeds.

Royal College of
Nursing International Research Conference - May 2011
Representatives from SURF and the HCAI Research
Network attended the conference in Harrogate to
deliver a concurrent presentation on the
collaborative work carried out in developing a joint
submission for research funding. The presentation
took place alongside a series of other interesting
and informative presentations about the value of
service user involvement in various areas of nursing
research.
A copy of presentations from the event will shortly
be available
here.
SURF Workshop 7 -
March 2011
The majority of the workshop involved working up a
SURF identified research priority into a viable
project. Members worked through the initial stages
of developing a research project, facilitated by
staff from the HCAI Research Network. Activities
included reviewing desk research, looking at
available literature, considering measurable
outcomes, discussing the value of the research to
practice and starting to think about appropriate
methods for data collection.
In addition members took part in an exercise
designed to refresh their knowledge of key HCAI
causing organisms, were updated on a previous SURF
research priority and were introduced to a new
opportunity for SURF to collaborate with external
researchers.
INVOLVE Conference - November 2010
SURF attended
the INVOLVE Conference on Public Involvement in
Research and presented a poster and talk on some of
the group's achievements to date.

SURF Workshop 6 -
October 2010
A presentation on basic
microbiology, causes of HCAIs and innovation in
medical devices was delivered by Jennie Wilson,
Deputy Director of Infection Prevention and Control,
Imperial College Healthcare NHS session on planning
and conducting one to one interviews was delivered
by a senior lecturer in research methods
SURF members had the
opportunity to put forward their own research
priorities and start thinking about the generation
of SURF’s second collaborative submission for
research funding. Feedback was also sought from SURF
members on the development of the poster for the
INVOLVE conference, and on materials being developed
to raise awareness of the group among the research
community.

SURF Workshop 5 - May
2010
The workshop aimed to update
and obtain feedback from SURF members about current
and planned activity. Members discussed the upcoming
Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) submission and
identified potential roles for SURF members in the
research process. SURF members provided feedback and
suggestions to external researchers for projects on
CAUTI and Hand Hygiene interventions. A short
training session on planning and facilitating focus
groups was also provided.
SURF Workshop 4 -
2009
SURF Members focused on
identifying a patient centred research priority
which has now been developed into a research
proposal for the Research for Patient Benefit
Programme (RfPB).
If successful the research will be undertaken as a
collaboration between SURF and researchers.
The outcome of the submission is expected in
November 2010.
