Request for comment guideline for control and prevention of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in healthcare facilities

A joint working party representing the Healthcare Infection Society and Infection Prevention Society have used a NICE accredited guideline development methodology to update the recommendations and guideline for control and prevention of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in healthcare facilities.   You are invited to respond to the consultation by the members of the working party.

The Joint Working Party has been reviewing publications, gathering evidence and preparing recommendations and having completed the updated manuscript, consultation with stakeholders and colleagues is now required.  I would be grateful if you would disseminate these documents amongst your membership and peers.
