The Holiday Hand Hygiene prize draw has been temporarily paused while the Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) team addresses more urgent operational matters.

Hand hygiene remains a critical patient safety practice, and staff are reminded to continue following IPC-2-12 Effective Hand Hygiene policy, including:

• Before patient contact
• Before a clean or aseptic procedure
• After body fluid exposure risk
• After patient or patient environment contact

Thank you for your continued commitment to excellent hand hygiene. Updates on the prize draw will be shared once it resumes.
