MRSA Screening

Infection control, including screening for MRSA, is vitally important to the operation of our healthy and social care services. Care UK ensured that it has mechanisms to ensure that compliance and monitoring processes are in place. These include:

Publication of the Statement of Declaration, MRSA Screening Policy and MRSA policy on this website.

Compliance with the MRSA Screening Policy and MRSA policy, which will be monitored on a monthly basis via

• DH’s MRSA Screening Return Form sent to the appropriate SHA;
• Monthly Care UK Executive Team Meeting; and
• Care UK Secondary Care IP&C Committee.

Care UK will ensure that ‘compliance rates’ with the MRSA Screening Policy and MRSA Policy are made publicly available via the Group Medical Director’s Annual Clinical Governance Report, which will also be published on this website.
