The standards have gone down, Doctors walk around with their coats open and swinging with stethoscope round their neck and used on one patient then another without being wiped with a alcohol wipe. There are pens and badges etc etc. |

I would think that pens would be a major source of constant cross contamination as a pen will move around the ward and you probably wouldn't think to wash your hands after using it. Also, ties I would think for the reason of being straightened/touched and being perceived to not need washing as often. |

People do not realize that relatives visiting..loved ones are carrying all sorts of bugs and things..I have nothing against visiting..rights..but when I see 10 rellies around a bed space..it does make you wonder...just a thought |

~~~~~~~As a nurse....I think its not good practice..to travel on public transport..in uniforms..I travel in car..or change at work...would never dream of going anywhere in uniform |

My mum bless her always says bring back the old matrons in the hospitals they always run their ships spick and span, if something wasnt clean or to her level of work the ward was never opened un til everything was gleaming, maybe she is right? |

Glad you see my view di, i thought i was going overboard with my point of view, but on the documentry, they did examin the tie and it was contaminated with the MRSA bug plus traces of samunela, and that was after a days shift at a hospital, a doctor doing his ward rounds was more of a carrier than an outside person or visitor |

I watch a documentry program on MRSA once and they were saying the worse people to be the carrier of MRSA is the doctors, they have very little time to wash their hands, they work near on 60 or more hours a week in some cases, and the worse coulprit of all is the tie they wear when examining patience, they go from patience to patience, they wear there white coats but can transfer MRSA and other diseases, just my point of veiw. I also worked as a care assistant on the community to help the eldery in there own homes, and i must admit the hygene was a little bit of a miss there, only limited time to help, then off to the other eldery person who needed help, agency workers in the community are limited time too. |

The problem with having people wash their own uniforms is that some people will wash at over 60c and not wash in with the family laundry, and some will not. |
