How do we stop the spread of MRSA?
 
It seems almost a daily event, hearing about an outbreak or death in our Hospitals due to the superbug.
 
What are your thoughts on what should be done?

First the Hospitals need to be cleaned and maintained properly. More cleaners, better cleaning products, more time taken to get it right.
 
Secondly, infected patients should be moved to special wards that are better equiped to deal with barrier nursing and all these staff should be given better training and equipment to deal with the problem.
 
Thirdly, better methods need to be adopted that will rapidly detect infected patients or staff and ALL staff should be regularly screened to prevent the spread of infection through normal working contact.
