We're a leading organisation associated with decontamination and sterilisation
THE Irish Association of Sterile Services Managers was established in 1989 and changed its name to Irish Decontamination Institute in January 2011.
Our aim is to ensure its members are up to date with developments in sterile services and to network this information to hospital sterile service departments throughout Ireland.
Education is at the heart of our organisation and we're launching a new Education @ the IDI service for members and non-members.

ABOUT OUR ORGANISATION

The IDI has been acknowledged nationally and internationally as a leading organization associated with decontamination and sterilization.
Nationally, the IDI continues to promote education in decontamination and sterilization through its involvement with the Institute of Technology, Tallaght course set up in 2000. Internationally, in 2002 the IDI was given the honour of hosting the EFHSS Conference 2002 which was attended by over 300 delegates world wide, and proved to be a great success.
