National Handwashing Day
Staff Nurse Keri Purdy is the lead nurse for infection control
at the Tees Valley Treatment Centre in Middlesbrough. Informing and
educating staff with the latest infection control protocols is a
key remit of the role and National Handwashing Day provided an
ideal opprtunity to reinforce the importance of effective
handwashing with staff, patients and consultants. Several staff
refresher workshops were held and educational posters were
prominent within the unit - whilst Staff Nurse Purdy manned an
information stand display, talked to patients and handed out
freebies.
