Re: BCG instillations and staff Mantoux screening

[Eden, Keryn (DFC)]

Many thanks Michael,

Disability SA refers all new employees in direct care to the Chest Clinic RAH for this purpose. Neither Mantoux nor BCG are provided on site to either the client or staff groups.

Regards,

________________________________

For those ICP’s involved in staff health, I am interested in knowing how many organisations offer routine Mantoux screening to staff involved in BCG instillations / immunotherapy. If you do offer routine Mantoux for this group of staff, how frequently are they performed?

Any comments or opinions appreciated!!

Thanks
Michael
