Dutch MRSA expert to address Queen’s conference
A leading Dutch infection control expert will visit Queen's University next week to discuss MRSA prevention.
Dr Margreet Vos, who is head of the infection control department in Rotterdam's Erasmus University Medical Centre, will discuss various strategies used in the Netherlands to prevent the hospital acquired infection.
The Netherlands has had major success in keeping MRSA out of hospitals and the Erasmus University Medical Centre is at the forefront of developing effective strategies for preventing the spread of the infection.
In her lecture on Thursday April 28 Dr Vos will highlight the "search and destroy" method, which features the early detection, early identification and early containment of infection and involves patients, healthcare workers and the healthcare environment.
The lecture is organised by School of Pharmacy at Queen's and the Microbiology Department of the United Hospitals Trust, under the auspices of the Infectious Disease Recognised Research Group. It will be held in the North Lecture Theatre, Medical Biology Centre, and begins at 1pm.
