Summary:

"Infection prevention and control is vital but can find itself an automated part of care - and therefore vulnerable. This book uses evidence-based findings to convert infection prevention into a well-understood, passionate concept, considering key principles, infection control within surgery and hospitalised patients, and responsible antibiotic use"-- Provided by publisher.
