Catheter Care Awareness Week

Identifying CAUTI risk factors starts with you.

In 2025, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), released the Guide to Preventing Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) – a comprehensive resource that transforms the latest scientific evidence and best practices into practical strategies for reducing the risk of CAUTI across various healthcare settings.

By guiding appropriate catheter use and encouraging consideration of alternative urine management strategies, this resource supports the goals of Catheter Care Awareness Week by equipping clinicians with accurate and authoritative information to inform urinary catheter use and care.

Identifying CAUTI risk factors starts with you. Pledge to dedicate your skills and efforts to support and improve the lives of patients, ensuring they receive the best care and best possible outcomes you can give. A partnership to commit to continuous learning and advocating for the well-being of every patient you serve. Each pledge card filled out for the week shows your commitment to exceptional patient care.
