The Bella Moss Foundation
The Bella Moss Foundation is a charity which promotes prudent antimicrobial use and hygiene in human and veterinary medicine.
We work with BMF to offer the Practical Infection Control course.
About the Bella Moss Foundation
The foundation was established in 2005 by Jill Moss, following the death of her dog, Bella, from a badly managed MRSA infection, and has developed into an international champion of good practice linking patients and veterinary clients with best practice resources and access to good advice.
The foundation offers informed support on the management of resistant bacteria and the resulting infections for
· Pet and owners with resistant infections
· Vets and veterinary nurses
· Doctors, nurses and pharmacists
· Farmers and agriculture
Their aim
Their aim is to save lives through education via leaflets, posters, videos, and other media which promotes the responsible use of antibiotics regarding the management of resistant bacteria.
They do this by collaborating with the public and major veterinary and human health academic institutions, government departments and leading researchers around the world, many of which are part of the One Health Initiative.
All the Bella Moss Foundations resources are developed and produced by volunteers.
