Swansea:

Infection control nurses achieve ‘outstanding results’

Moriston Hospital in Swansea has its dedicated team of infection control nurses to thank for a dramatic reduction in infection rates among kidney patients undergoing haemodialysis after a three–year project, and although this does not have a direct bearing on other infections, such as MRSA, a pattern has been set which can ultimately affect even these hospital–based health risks.

The reduction shown is a staggering 90 per cent from 2004 to the April-June quarter this year.

The control team has been short–listed for the national Nursing Times Awards for 2007.
