Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for your response.
We generally don’t swab either but one of our open heart team volunteers asked the questions as they had been involved with a case recently OS and wanted to know if we should be swabbing this group of staff on their return. We would be opening a whole new can of worms if we did I’m sure?

Hi Jayne.
Im wondering why you ask this question.
I take health care workers to Vietnam and I have never heard of a requirement to screen them coming home.
We do not screen any of our employees for MRSA at anytime and I have only heard of it done as a prerequisite for working in Western Australia.
Ive only heard of it be considered as a last resort in outbreak investigation in the Eastern states

Does anyone have or know of a MRSA policy for staff returning to work following volunteer work overseas for charity groups delivery hands on health care?
Would love to hear from the experts.
Kind Regards
Jayne
