🧼 Use soap and warm water
⏲ Make sure to wash your hands for more than 20 seconds

Yep..a staggering 15.8m predicted for this yr (15m last yr) at a cost of £0.5m+ & a far greater cost to the environment. Our aim to reduce this has been initiated by @yvonnehelmelht1 & our critical care team, working with infection control/clinical ed. More to follow! #GlovesOff
We’re starting a project to reduce the no. of single use plastic gloves we use @ELHT_NHS each year, aiming to reduce HAI’s, reduce waste & improve patient experience. Take a guess at how many gloves we use each year ... @yvonnehelmelht1 @ELHTKMCG @ELHT_QI @Cmp1261 #GlovesOff #WRP
