World Hand Hygiene Day – Sunday May 5th 2024
Dr Eimear Brannigan is National Clinical Lead for Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control (AMRIC) writes “ Most years when Hand Hygiene Day comes around, we have to ask ourselves how we find a renewed way to talk to people about the importance of hand hygiene in preventing infection. We are in a very different place in relation to knowledge around the importance of hand hygiene due to the pandemic. However, ongoing research is showing that people are reverting to previous practices where hand hygiene is concerned”. She is encouraging healthcare professionals and others to highlight, participate in and celebrate World Hand Hygiene day this Sunday, May 5th.
