Hi,

I was wondering if any ICN has a policy in relation to VRE skin carriage,
and in particular any evidence to support " skin decolonisation regimes"
prior to surgery.

Any evidence/ articles that I could be steered towards would be much
appreciated!
Copies of policies would also be gratefully received!!

Best Wishes,

mags.
