                                            GLOBAL HANDWASHING DAY: Protecting Our Carers and Our Service Users π«§
October 15th marks Global Handwashing Day, a reminder of the importance of good hygiene and hand washing practices, especially within the care sector.
This is one of the most powerful tools we have to prevent the spread of infections. It protects vulnerable service users, supports staff health, and ensures a safer, cleaner environment.
β
 Wash hands before and after contact with service users
β
 Use soap and water, following a proper technique for at least 20 seconds
β
 If soap and water is not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser
Letβs continue keeping ourselves, colleagues and service users safe. π§Ό
