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:
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- Speak Up:
- If you experience skin irritation, inform your supervisor immediately. Early intervention can prevent more serious issues.
