GAMA Healthcare has announced a new clinical research and education department. Heading up this new division will be a new clinical director, Martin Kiernan, who joined GAMA on 1 April 2015. Martin has worked in the field of infection prevention and control (IPC) for 25 years, most recently as former nurse consultant in infection prevention at Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust in the North-West of England.
Working with clinicians and academic research centres, the company aims to add to and develop the evidence base in critical areas of patient care such as environmental and patient skin decontamination. It will continue to develop its award-winning Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) and will build on the extensive free training and support offered to customers.
