Canterbury Christ Church University is the first university in the UK to pilot MRSA protected uniforms.
The uniforms contain Permagard, an antimicrobial treatment that reduces the multiplication and growth of harmful bacteria while the uniform is being worn.
They have been supplied to the university by a company called Work in Style, in collaboration with Carrington’s, the supplier of the uniform fabric and the developer of Permagard.
The university has already received favourable feedback from students.
