For healthcare providers, maintaining infection control during wound care is crucial. 🖐️ Hand Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly, change gloves between tasks, and keep nails short and natural. 🛠️ Proper Instrument Use: Use a new foam-tipped probe each time to prevent contamination. Tools like bandage scissors should be single-use or sterilised after each procedure. Prioritising these practices helps protect patients and improve healing outcomes. #InfectionControl #WoundCare #Healthcare

🌱 Important Reminder: Proper Environmental Disinfection Matters Just as Much as Hand Hygiene This findings highlight a crucial aspect of healthcare safety: healthcare workers are nearly as likely to contaminate their hands or gloves by touching surfaces in rooms occupied by infected patients as they are after direct patient contact. This underscores the vital role of thorough environmental cleaning in infection control strategies. Let's commit to maintaining rigorous standards in both hand hygiene and environmental cleanliness to prevent the spread of infections.

Keeping patients and staff safe has always been a top priority, but recent health challenges have taken infection control to a whole new level. Hospitals are stepping up by upgrading HVAC systems for cleaner air, using antimicrobial materials in high-touch areas, and improving overall sanitation practices. New cleaning protocols and real-time monitoring are also becoming standard, helping to prevent the spread of infections and ensuring facilities are ready for whatever comes next. These measures are more than just improvements—they’re a promise to create safer, healthier spaces for everyone. #InfectionControl #HospitalSafety #HealthcareFacilities #PatientCare #SafeHospitals #FacilityManagement
