Superbugs - MRSA & Clostridum Difficle

Asset Certified Workbook
Achieve your certification on Food Hygiene/Safety to latest UK standards

In 1929, Sir Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin. This was further developed and by the 1940's the new "wonder drug" was available. It saved millions of lives, but through over use and misuse, gradually bacteria developed resistance.

We are now at a dangerous stage where more and more 'superbugs' are resistant to drugs. MRSA and Clostridium difficile are two such superbugs causing many difficulties in our healthcare facilities.

This little workbook describes the historical background to superbugs, investigates the lifecycles of the bugs and the symptoms they cause.Through a basic understanding of these bacteria the workbook examines the care daily activities healthcare workers use and aims to help fight the dangerous infections through interrupting the lifecycles of the bacteria.

This little booklet is written to form part of your "due diligence". It contains three parts:-

• Essential knowledge highlighting post incidents, perceived threats and advice on simple actions to increase security.

• A 20 question multi choice test to establish understanding and knowledge. This can be either marked in house by senior personnel, or returned to us for marking and submission to ASET for certification. This carries an aditional charge of £6.50 per workbook.

• An optional observation section. This is to be completed by the owner, manager or supervisor and records best practice in daily operations.


ASET is a UK awarding body. This 3 part pack, once complete will form excellent audit documents as part of your companys due diligence systems.
