Clostridium Difficile - ½ day course

This course is invaluable for anyone working within a health and social care setting, who may come across Clostridium Difficile during their working day. C-diff (as it is more commonly known) produces a spectrum of diseases, ranging from simple and self-limited diarrhoea to its most advanced and characteristic form, pseudomembranous colitis.
