27/09/2010: MRSA Action UK: A Healthcare Infection – A Lifetime Legacy to Sherborne over-fifties club

MRSA and other healthcare related infections do not discriminate by age, and Derek will relate the stories of some young people who you would not think of as being vulnerable, showing how important it is to always think about preventing infections in any healthcare environment. The untimely loss of seven people in Derek’s presentation demonstrates the legacy for everyone involved in their care. Antimicrobial resistance and the importance of preserving our important reserves of antibiotics also feature in the presentation, and show the increasing prevalence of resistant infections outside of the hospital setting.
