Major Research Theme
| My work has focused on hospital-acquired infections and the ways in which they are related to clinical practices. These include hand hygiene performance and central line-associated bloodstream infections, as well as antibiotic management, I am also interested in the prevention of infections among staff, such as influenza. More recently, I have been studying the resources required to perform effective infection control work. |
