Professor Nick Phin, Head of Legionella and Influenza Preparedness & Response Section Health Protection Agency, Colindale, presents the Hot Topic Lecture 2012 - Legionnaires' disease - dead legs and shower heads - at the Microbiology Society (formally the 'Society for General Microbiology') Autumn Conference held at University of Warwick, 3-5 September 2012.
The Microbiology Society is a membership charity for scientists interested in microbes, their effects and their practical uses. It is one of the largest microbiology societies in Europe with a worldwide membership based in universities, industry, hospitals, research institutes and schools.
Our principal goal is to develop, expand and strengthen the networks available to our members so that they can generate new knowledge about microbes and ensure that it is shared with other communities. The impacts from this will drive us towards a world in which the science of microbiology provides maximum benefit to society.
