Hi Kevin We did appear to have some difficulties getting supplies previously but our pharmacy department has recently managed to get supplies without difficulty. Do you have links with any local NHS hospital OH Dept or TB liaison/contact tracing dept as they can usually point you in the right direction locally? It may be that they may be willing to provide this service for you as maintaining skills if numbers are small is difficult. I know we are trying to get someone to do the BCG vaccinations for us but skilled personnel appear to be thin on the ground. Good luck Brenda Proud Occupational Health Nurse Golden Jubilee National Hospital Beardmore Street Clydebank G81 4HX Tel: 0141 951 5788 Fax: 0141 951 5006 -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of [log in to unmask] Sent: 13 December 2008 16:09 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] tuberculin siupplies Hi all I work for a service performing preemployment screening around the UK for clinical staff. Does anyone know where I can source tuberculin supplies for Mantoux testing and BCG immunisation?. There is a shortage in various regions I know but how do you get these tests and BCG done with such a shortage? thanks kevin bailey Occupational Physician (independent) MFOM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
