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. It is well recognized as the major cause of infectious diarrhoea that develops in patients/residents following hospitalisation or admission to a long-term care facility.
