WASHROOM
Foam Soap has been designed to be particularly easy to use and each cartridge serves up to 1,650 people. This ensures a long-lasting supply and reduces the risk of the unit running out when a hand-wash is urgently needed.
When hand washing is impractical or inconvenient, staff should be encouraged to sanitise their hands using an alcohol gel or hand rub. Again, dispensers for these products should be easy to locate and convenient to use wherever they are needed.
Tork has issued a guide to optimum sanitiser dispenser placement at hospital entrances, at nurses’ stations, in a single bed room and on a four-bed ward. Tork Alcohol Hand Sanitisers are available in dispensers for general use as well as in smaller formats that can be clipped to a patient’s bed or issued to a medical worker.
Providing user-friendly products that are always available when they are needed is vitally important. But more important still is that healthcare workers should be

given the skills and knowhow they need to use those products correctly. In a recent survey of 1,000 healthcare professionals commissioned by Tork it emerged that 40% were keen to receive enhanced hand hygiene training.
We at Essity now offer an app designed to help instil good hand hygiene habits into healthcare staff and to clarify those situations in which hand washing is vital. The Tork VR Clean Hands Training and Education app is free to download and uses virtual reality to provide realistic scenarios where hand washing needs to be carried out.
Hand hygiene is non-negotiable and all healthcare staff should be carrying it out effectively and thoroughly. However, they can only do this when they are equipped with user- friendly products and systems and are shown how to do so effectively. Only then will we see a marked improvement in healthcare hand hygiene compliance globally.
