GIRFT Guide to Preop Testing: Standardised Approach to MRSA Screening
GIRFT has now published guidance to help standardise MRSA screening as part of preoperative testing. The adult MRSA screening and supression/eradication prophylaxis for patients on an elective surgical pathway was published in May.
The guidance has been developed by GIRFT in collaboration with the National Perioperative Collaborative, NHS England’s national clinical directors for perioperative medicine and critical care, and infection prevention and control. CPOC was part of the working group.
