The most recent guidelines that I have seen categorise tissues into low, medium and high risk with medium including the anterior eye and lymphoid tissue. However, at Harrogate last week one of the speakers categorised everything into medium risk other than the high risk tissues. Does anyone know if there is recent guidance about this?

Thanks!

The tissue catergories by risk are stated in the recent final report of CJD decontamination working party. They are listed in table 7, this document also lists the most at risk surgical procedures.

Thanks Bob - where can I actually find this document as I'm having no luck on the DH site or even just through google!
