Hi,

I have had a query from a doctor who wants to do an audit in their department comparing their rates with national/international rates.

She wants statistics on rates of infection following skin biopsies in dermatological departments.

I have found some articles – which report very low rates.

But I thought I’d mine everyone’s knowledge to see if anyone knows if there may be officially reported rates for the NHS anywhere.

I don’t think there will be but if anyone has any ideas?

Thanks,

Sarah
