S.I.N. is a new campaign set up to research all relevant knowledge about Health Care Acquired Infection (especially MRSA and C. Difficile and V.R.E ) and their prevention and control. The intention is to spread this information as widely as possible, to patients and potential patients, to hospital and health administrators, doctors, nurses and all health care professionals.
"NEW RESEARCH PROJECT!!!
Continuing our support of patients, we are surveying attitudes to the Informed Consent Form which is signed prior to medical procedures. We are trying to determine whether this consent represents a fair deal for the patient.
To be part of this process, please complete the short questionnaire on the site. A specimen consent form can also be accessed by clicking here".
We are asking people to register a HCAI diagnosis with us because the official records are not complete. MRSA blood stream infection is a notifiable disease, but MRSA infections in the bone, wounds or respiratory are not, and we need to have a complete picture.
Please let us know if there is something you want included on the Web Site, or if you have any information or news you want to share.
SIN is a registered charity, and all funds donated will be used for the ongoing research projects which are intended to further infection prevention and control in this country, and also to improve the conditions of those who have suffered from such infections. All our workers are volunteers who give their time and talents free.
