Hello,
Does anyone have any policies or guidelines they would be willing to share on the infection control surrounding cystic fibrosis, including placement of patients with burkholderia cepacia? I am developing a policy and would appreciate any advice.
Thankyou.

This website doesn't sem to have email addresses displayed any more (or is it just me being dumb?) so unable to send the policy to you. Email me on [email protected] and I'll send you a copy that way.
