Abstract
The Diploma in Hospital Infection Control (DipHIC) was established by the Hospital Infection Society, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Public Health Laboratory Service (now the Health Protection Agency) in 1997. We outline important changes to the assessment of eligibility for the DipHIC by accreditation of prior experiental learning, provide a web link to examples of reflections, and list all those who have been awarded the DipHIC by the various routes.
