Re: BCG instillations and staff Mantoux screening

[Jill Palmer]

In the Northern Territory, mantoux screening is required for all staff upon commencing employment and then recommended annually.

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
