    Hi there,

    Would members mind sharing with me your approach to management of
    clients with MROs in acute rehabilitation centres, particularly those
    located within an acute care hospital? What strategies to you utilise
    to minimise the risk of transmission of MROs whilst supporting necessary
    rehabilitation programs.

    We currently maintain our patients under contact precautions and whilst
    allowing patients to attend the gym under controlled conditions we do
    not allow patients who are currently colonised to join other clients in
    dining spaces or other group activities.

    If people could shoot me some responses/comments/strategies by the end
    of the week I would be really grateful.

    Kind regards

    Rachel
