thanks Tracy is there any document (DoH, NICE etc) with guidelines as to what is required....as always, it seems different hospitals require different things thanks Chloe what I am referring to is: The management of health, safety and welfare issues for NHS staff New edition, 2005 There is currently no routine requirement for the testing of healthcare workers other than doctors for blood-borne viruses. However, if they think they have been exposed, healthcare workers have a professional duty to seek medical advice on the need to be tested for blood-borne viruses. which states doctors have to have routine testing for BBV so what is routine???
