members also need to be given clear instructions on how to use them for optimum effectiveness. Essity’s own Tork Clean Hands Training invites users into a digital world where they are confronted with a series of scenarios in which hand hygiene needs to be carried out. Developed in collaboration with behavioural scientists and hand hygiene experts, the course aims to provide hand hygiene guidance in an engaging way.
While medical staff are delivering life-saving care, cleaning teams will be working behind the scenes to ensure that all surfaces and equipment are kept sanitised and germ-free. However, cleaners are also in short supply and depleted teams will struggle to keep all hospital surfaces clean and hygienic in an environment where viruses and infections are rife.
At Essity we offer a training package designed to help healthcare cleaners to carry out their work more efficiently. Tork Interactive Clean Hospital Training addresses each step of the process from picking up debris, emptying the bins and wiping down refuse containers before moving on to other tasks.
The course incorporates tips and tricks for safe healthcare cleaning and includes a ‘train-the-trainer’ module. This features a mini-microbiology element that deals with the dangers posed by micro-organisms in healthcare. Tork Interactive Clean Hospital Training is available in more than 15 languages besides English including French, Spanish, German, Arabic and Somali.
The Department of Health and Social Care’s Where the NHS is Today paper spells out the extent of the crisis currently being faced by the service. But it also highlights the fact that there remains a strong sense of national pride in the NHS. Patients were quick to praise the expertise, warmth and approachability of healthcare staff, while medical workers reported a significant sense of satisfaction from making a difference to patients’ lives.
Cleaning and hygiene protocols cannot be skimped in the healthcare sector. Providers therefore need to do whatever they can to provide staff with the tools and knowledge they require to allow these processes to be carried out seamlessly, efficiently and comfortably.
