'Media is wrong to blame nurses'

Article Abstract:

The spread of infection called 'superbug' is the sole issue of concern and Carole Fry, nursing adviser on communicable disease at the Department of Heath states that it is everybodys responsibility, including managers, clinical and non-clinical NHS staff, and patients, rather than blame the nurses. Fry blames the media for misinforming people about the work of nurse and ensures that she keeps abreast of all the issues by talking to nurses by holding meetings with infection control nurses.
