73 Clean your hands

Description:

Today Brian and I are joined in the studio by both Zoe Halfacree and Rosanne Jepson, both senior lectures in their respective fields of soft tissue surgery and internal medicine here at the RVC. They are also both on the infection control committee here in our small animal teaching hospital (Queen Mother Hospital for Animals) and next week it is the World Health Organisation (WHO) SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands, on 5th May 2018. A campaign to promote hand hygiene in health care to prevent sepsis, as the slogan says ‘It’s in your hands’.

 

We discuss the importance in handwashing, how you can implement and audit this in practice.

 

5 moments for hand hygiene:

1 Before touching a patient

2 Before clean/aseptic procedure

3 After body fluid exposure risk

4 After touching a patient

5 After touching patient surroundings

 

For further information about the campaign and some great posters:
