MRSA Screening

Infection control, including screening for MRSA, is vitally important to the operation of our health and social care services. Care UK has put mechanisms in place to guarantee the robustness of our compliance and monitoring processes. 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:

• Submission of the Department of Health’s MRSA screening return form to the appropriate SHA
• Monthly Care UK executive team meetings and 
• Care UK's 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 is also published on this website.
