Is anyone planning to change their MRSA policies in light of the new guidance? Screen more, place more on decolonisation, use more systemic antibiotics as recommended in the pharmacy guidelines?

Yes - to screening and decolonisation- particularly preoperatively. No - to more systemic antibiotics.

Me too, but in response to the 'challenging' target. Upping screening although we've already run out of side rooms since starting screening all NH patients (29% pos in 1st 2 weeks). All jolly evidence-based and all that..
Did a proposed trajectory last week and was asked to revise it downwards (from 1 a month) by the SHA today. Shame really as I was planning on having two in November...
