Elevate Your Hand Hygiene with ACCUMED

Hand hygiene is a cornerstone of infection control, especially in healthcare settings. ACCUMED is here to ensure you have the best practices at your fingertips. Here’s how you can elevate your hand hygiene game:

1. Soap and Water for the Win:
   • When your hands are visibly dirty or you’re caring for a resident with vomiting or diarrhoea, soap and water are your best friends. For other situations, alcohol-based hand rub is effective. Remember, dry hands are clean hands!
2. Nail It:
   • Keep your fingernails clean and trimmed. Avoid gel, acrylic, or false nails, and keep jewelry to a minimum. This reduces the risk of harboring harmful germs.
3. Moisturize Regularly:
   • Regular use of hand cream, especially before breaks or when off duty, helps maintain healthy skin. This is crucial when you’re frequently washing your hands or using alcohol-based hand rubs.
4. Speak Up:
   • If you experience skin irritation, inform your supervisor immediately. Early intervention can prevent more serious issues.
