Weekly Dose

Over 500 staff attended the Hand Hygiene stand at Albury and Wodonga during this week.

Staff checked their Hand hygiene technique with the UV box and were educated on the importance of being 'Bare below the Elbow' when working in clinical areas.

These stands will become clinician "phone, stethoscope and hand cleaning stations"  at Albury and Wodonga campuses ongoing.

Thanks to Kerri Crawford (IPS CNC) and Nicole Ruiz (RN Graduate) for managing a great project.
