MRSA in intensive care

Alan T Platt Charge Nurse, Intensive Care, Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle upon Tyne

To prevent its transmission, all patients should undergo the same infection control procedures that they would if they carried the infection. Continuing education programmes can help to increase awareness among hospital staff.
