abstract: Scrubbing up well: Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has been praised for preparing its staff to deal with contamination incidents. The trust runs a one-day course, eight times a year, on which staff are taught how to treat patients who have been exposed to radiation or chemical contamination. RCN professional nurse adviser Mike Hayward praised the progress that the trust had made. 'Other trusts should take a lead from this,' he said. See also page 39.
