Birmingham hospitals praised for MRSA effort - Birmingham Post.
Health watchdogs have praised the work of a Birmingham hospital trust in cutting the risk of superbugs from MRSA to clostridium difficile. The Healthcare Commission said it was impressed with Heart of England Foundation Trust after making unannounced inspections on its three hospitals, Heartlands, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield’s Good Hope. It is a boost for the trust, which has strived to improve infection control since being shamed in undercover exposes by the Birmingham Mail and BBC’s Panorama four years ago. Commission assessors had nothing put praise after visits on September 30 and October 1.
