Attendees at the meeting on Thursday 28 May 2009 at Watford General Hospital discovered how to protect their family from illness, and picked up some great tips on how to reduce the spread of infection.
The lively health talk by Frances Stratford, Infection Control Assistant Director for West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust gave an insight into the way the hospital successfully combats infection.
Members were told that the Trust had reduced hospital acquired infections significantly over the last 12 months and how we all had an important part to play in the fight against Superbugs.
There was also a brief update on the Trust's application to become a Foundation Trust later this year.
