We're a leading organisation associated with decontamination and sterilisation

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.
