title: Hearing the alarm.
abstract: MANY DIRECTORS of nursing will, like me, have read with interest the Healthcare Commission ( 2007 ) report into the outbreaks of Clostridium difficile at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, Kent, and, being responsible to their trust boards for infection control, will have reassessed their trusts' policies in light of its recommendations.
