Abstract
Set against a background of rising methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infection rates, poor public image and recent staff reorganisation, the infection control team at Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust has rallied to facilitate change in the infection prevention perceptions and practices throughout the Trust, adopting a ‘Whole Trust’ approach.
