About the author

Dr William Tong was initially trained in paediatrics before he took up the specialty of Virology. He received virology trainings in Hong Kong, London and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Having worked at Guy's and St. Thomas', and Barts Health NHS Trust, he is currently based at the Royal London Hospital at Whitechapel as clinical lead for the Division of Infection. He has a wide range of interests including viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, HIV, picornaviruses and novel diagnostics, and is the chair of the virology examination panel of the Royal College of Pathologists.

Dr Caryn Rosmarin worked in Emergency Medicine, Clinical Pharmacology and Infectious Disease in South Africa for several years before entering Microbiology. She trained and qualified in Clinical Microbiology both in London and Johannesburg. She is the postgraduate training lead for north-east London and an examiner for the Royal college of Pathologists. She has a wide range of interests including infection control, surgical microbiology, musculoskeletal, vascular and neurosurgical infections, diabetic foot infections, and education.

Armine Sefton trained in general medicine and infectious disease before entering microbiology. In 2003 she became Professor of Medical Microbiology at Barts and the London and remained there until she retired from full-time practice in 2015. Subsequently she returned to work part- time at her local hospital, Princess Alexandra, Harlow. She was course director of the MSc in Clinical Microbiology at Barts and the London for over 20 years. She was an examiner in microbiology for the Royal college of Pathologists, and the chair of their microbiology examination panel from 2008-2012

Summary

Trainees in the infection disciplines of microbiology, virology, infectious diseases, and tropical medicine have until recently received separate, and as a result, limited training. To address this problem, the UK introduced a combined infection training (CIT) curriculum in 2015. This is the first book that covers the entire CIT curriculum.
