Dear Colleagues
The CDC’s new and long awaited BSI Guide is now posted to the HICPAC site. It is especially interesting in terms of its commentary on mechanical valves and skin preparation. It is much more detailed than the equivalent Australian advice.

The new guide will also be published in the May issue of AJIC.
Hope you find it of interest.
