Me too please! Judith Judith McMillan-Cox Occupational Health Adviser Queen's Hospital, Burton P Save Paper - Do you really need to print this e-mail? _____ From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bluestone, Tracy Sent: 29 July 2008 11:20 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Skin condition/MRSA policy Does anyone have an existing policy in place for staff with chronic skin conditions and MRSA screening. I have recently had a meeting with Infection COntrol who advocated MRSA screening prior to fitness for all clinical staff showing evidence of a skin condition. I have asked the IC nurse to provide evidence to support this, but would be very interested if anyone else has dealt with this or a similar problem. Many thanks Tracy Bluestone, RGN, SCPHN (OH) Deputy Head of Occupational Health Ext 3982 ************************************************************************ ******** The information contained in this email may be subject to public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
