Hi,
i was wondering if any icn has a policy in relation to vre skin carriage, and in particular any evidence to support 'decolonisation' prior to surgery.
Any evidence/ artilces that I could be steered towards would be much appreciated! Copies of poilices would also be gratefully received!!!
Best Wishes,
