  • leemoy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0What's Bugging You? As a qualified Health and Safety Practitioner and Infection Control Trainer (www.mrsaprotection.com) I run regular Infection Awareness sessions for patients and their families to show them how to improve hygiene and reduce their risk of hospital acquired infections like MRSA and C.difficile. We use an educational quiz "Whats Bugging You?" This infection control quiz is a useful resource for hospital patients, their families and visitors, it contains information/details on 7 safety critical measures aimed at improving public awareness of infection risks.
    I will email the quiz (free of charge) to anyone who wants to know more about reducing their risk of infection. Email: enquiries@mrsaprotection.com
