Tackling MRSA and Other Hospital Infections was originally broadcast on Information TV (a channel broadcasting in the UK and western Europe on the Sky platform) in 2009. All three original episodes in the series featured Derek Butler, Chairman of MRSA Action UK. MRSA Action UK is a charity providing support for MRSA sufferers and carers, resources and clinically balanced, reliable information about MRSA, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, and what can be done to reduce the risk of acquiring MRSA and other hospital related infections. Episode 1: Investment by the private and public sectors into Research and Development of products and services that will combat MRSA and other superbugs is playing a crucial role in helping the NHS eliminate bacteria and reduce the risk of infection and cross contamination of hospital patients.
