Episode description

Although most Sterile Processing professionals around the globe have heard of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and prions, there are still many misconceptions around these topics and their importance in the context of Sterile Processing. On this episode of the Beyond Clean podcast, we talk to one of the world's foremost experts on the topic of prions and vCJD, Dr. David Perrett, Professor Emeritus of Bioanalytical Science, Barts & The London School of Medicine. Tune in this week for an introduction to prions, background to why they have become so pervasive in the news, and what you should be doing about it in your hospital. Grab your OR Director and Infection Preventionist to huddle around the stereo for this one!
