摘要
In Summary, the delivery of infection services to the different communities in the UK differs according to local personnel. The key medical personnel for an optimal service are the infectious diseases physician, the microbiologist and the consultant in communicable disease control, and close collaboration between these is essential to ensure clinical and economic benefit. It is to be hoped that the outcome of the consultation document on acute general hospital services will facilitate an increase in infectious diseases physicians in DGHs to strengthen the delivery of infection services.
