50 days (and counting) without C.Diff

Alongside our achievement of 500 days without MRSA on Tuesday 12 March, we can also confirm that we have also achieved 50 days without C.Diff.

As anyone who has come into contact with this bacteria will know, this is a particularly unpleasant bug which can lead to serious bowel problems.

As a Trust we have managed to go 50 days without incidence due to better processes around the infection, increasing antibiotic reviews as well as further vigilance from the Infection Prevention and Control team, and all clinicians, when observing patients.

Well done everybody and let’s push onto 100 days!
