Infection Control
Infection rates for every Trust in England and Wales are published quarterly by the
Health Protection Agency.
We have reduced our hospital-apportioned MRSA bacteraemia by 91% over five years.
N.B. MRSA bacteraemia is the presence of MRSA in the blood. This can be very serious and is the MRSA number monitored nationally.
We have achieved a 20% reduction in cases of Clostridium difficile attributed to the Trust in 2009/10 compared to the previous year.
