MRSA Action UK

Events


MRSA Action UK is a resource for both patients and healthcare providers. We attend many events in order to get the message across about the importance of taking the appropriate measures to avoid contracting infections, and ultimately help the patient through their journey with as few complications and adverse events as possible. We are happy to come and talk to groups of people who may have concerns about going into hospital, providing advice on how best to prepare themselves and how they can have some influence over making it a safer experience. Healthcare providers welcome the opportunity to hear the patient perspective too. If you would like us to speak at any event you may be holding then please contact us at info@mrsaactionuk.net.
