BDP played a significant part in this research project, helping recruit participants through our Needle Exchange located across the city and playing the part of a testing site.

At BDP we are continuing to work towards reducing harm cause by MRSA. We are currently involved in a Design in the Public Sector programme aiming to help local governments and partner organisations use design processes and methods to tackle public health challenges like MRSA.
