A new CPD from Horne Engineering Ltd.
Considering the march of antibiotic resistance, rightly described as a global threat that equals climate change in terms of its seriousness, the need to break the chain of infection through effective hand decontamination becomes ever more important.
In spite of this, hand hygiene compliance, i.e. the frequency, duration and technique employed to decontaminate hands before and after key tasks, in the healthcare environment remains woefully inadequate. Horne Engineering’s new CPD seminar raises the question what are the barriers, or disincentives, to achieving effective hand hygiene compliance? And how can engineering help?
Good Healthcare tap design can incentivise the process and it is not quite as simple as one might think. Careful consideration of a number of practical and experiential factors is required.
This seminar provides highly relevant information and understanding for specifying Architects and Building Services Engineers involved in the design of new build and refurbishment healthcare projects. More information at engineering.healthcare/handhygiene
