Dr Eleri Davies is a Consultant Medical Microbiologist and interim Medical Director of Public Health Wales. During the pandemic, Eleri has been working closely with her Consultant Nurse colleague Gail Lusardi on the infection prevention and control measures needed to minimise the spread of COVID-19 within health and social care settings, but also more broadly. The work has been demanding, but also very interesting as they applied their knowledge and experience of infection prevention and control and microbiology across all settings. They have interacted and engaged with specialists, the Welsh Government and the population of Wales in support of minimising the spread of this infection.
