Hi Fiona,
We have it outside the entrance doors to each ward area, in the lifts,
outpatient waiting rooms and at the entrance to the hospital cafeteria.
We have had no issues other than a full bottle disappearing from one of
our lifts every day for a week (it was the height of swine flu). We
also have it available in every patient room but not on the bed yet as
we are yet to overcome some OH&S issues related to bed swing and door
widths. In the public areas a poster has been put up next to the
bracket.
Outside our ward areas and waiting rooms it is combined with a box of
masks and tissue to encourage correct respiratory hygiene. I am happy
to share copies of our posters with you if you like.

handrubs
I would like to know if any members have placed their alcohol based hand
rubs in public areas such as near lifts, entrances etc in their
hospitals.
If so where have you put it and what form has this taken (bracket on
wall, hand hygiene station etc) and have you had any issues with this.
Regards
