Aspergillosis Sub-Committee

Terms of Reference
To review the recommendations of the 2002 national guidelines and update if required.

On-going Work
The "National Guidelines for the Prevention of Nosocomial Aspergillosis during Construction/Renovation Activities" were produced by a Sub-Committee of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (formerly NDSC) in 2002. These are available at http://www.hpsc.ie/hpsc/A-Z/Respiratory/Aspergillosis/Guidance/. These guidelines are to be updated. To assist in preparation of the revised guidance, we would very much appreciate if you would complete this short survey to evaluate the existing 2002 guidelines.
