A Healthcare Infection – A Lifetime Legacy at Warrington PCT’s Infection Control Study Day
Spencer House, Birchwood
Tuesday 29th June 2010
Warrington PCT has been working in partnership with the infection control team at North Cheshire Hospital looking at the cohorting of infected patients, antibiotic prescribing, handwashing with soap and water and cleaning of the patient environment. Warrington PCT’s Medicines Management Team and the Warrington Commissioning Consortium are optimising antibiotic prescribing in primary care. This is just some of the work that has taken place in the area.

Derek Butler has been invited to the infection control study day to give talk about the patient and carer perspective on contracting an infection, he will share both personal experiences and that of other patients and relatives who have been affected through contracting healthcare associated infections.
