Your efforts have helped WHO to demonstrate that there is still clear commitment from health-care workers around the world in ensuring clean hands and patient safety and if fact you were the country/area that contributed the most new registrations this year. We hope that these registrations will form part of the motivation for Wales to move forward with coordinated hand hygiene improvement actions to add to all that has been achieved this far. Remember that the WHO tools are still available to help with this. http://www.who.int/gpsc/5may/en/. Additionally, commendation letters will be sent to all facilities who have registered so that they can present their commitment visibly. Thank you very much again and good luck with all your efforts." -Message to all staff from WHO SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands Team "All wards in the Carmarthen Division got involved by updating their hand Hygiene boards at ward level. The information involved the 5 moments poster and updating their hand hygiene compliance graphs to demonstrate to different grades of staff their individual compliance rates. Some of the boards were very colourful and eye catching as additional information was added to the boards. e,g examples of bacteria & hands made out of laminated posters demonstrating how hands transfer bacteria. On the 4th May there was a hand hygiene stand placed outside the Dining Room in both Prince Philip and Glangwili Hospitals promoting Hand Hygiene with free alcohol and moisturiser tottles given to all staff that completed the Hand Hygiene Questionnaire. There were 2 winners identified from each hospital and will be given a hand hygiene goody bag." - Feedback from Hywel Dda Health Board (Carmarthen Division)
