What research is being done to find better ways of protecting against the spread of MRSA?
Various research initiatives are underway from the design of hospital wards, the use of isolation rooms, to the effectiveness of interventions like Clean Your Hands Campaign and investigation of the causes of multi-drug resistance. The Department of Health has also set aside £3 million for research as part of implementing Winning Ways, the Chief Medical Officer’s action plan to reduce healthcare associated infections.
