Hi Fiona,
We have placed hand foam product at the entrance to each ward (inside at
patient entrance and outside at staff entrance); outside each room and
at the foot of each bed. Outside rooms are 1 litre lockable and at then
end of the bed 400ml (as with Giulietta can be turned to lock). In our
OPDs we have a gel (probably change to the lockable foam dispenser
eventually) that is generally in view of staff. Outside the cafeteria
is a lockable foam dispenser and at the main visitor lift is a lockable
metal stand dispensing foam.
Toni.

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.
