The Bella Moss Foundation USA Speaking Tour

Mark Dosher BMF company secretary and Jill Moss President and founder flew to the USA on the 3rd April 2010 to raise awareness of MRSA In animals as a first of many series of talks. MRSA seems to have developed in a quite different way in the US compared to the UK, with the predominant strains causing infections in people being community rather than hospital acquired, but the problems faced by veterinary practices, clinic and hospitals are essentially the same. In traveling to the United States we hoped to be able to pass on the latest information on treatment approaches and infection control as they are recommended in the UK. BMF’s experience shows that once the main Centers of Excellence take an issue seriously, effective information can pass quickly to independent front-line practitioners. Given that the majority of pet owners now contacting The Foundation are American, our trip there to speak to vets and medical professionals took on added importance.
