Abstract
his paper describes a small-scale evaluation of a patient-held record for MRSA, carried out in NHS T Dumfries and Galloway. The patient-held record was developed in response to the Health Act (2006) Code of Practice requirement to ensure effective communication about infection, both with the patient and with other healthcare providers. The suitability and acceptability of the patient-held record to patients and senior healthcare professionals in primary and community care is described, along with possible benefits of implementing this model of communication. Limitations and further work are considered, including the need to perform a larger study with the patient-held record in use in order to confirm whether it does make a difference over time.
