I never understand why in the #NHS we hear professionals refer to each other by pay grade- β€œWho’s your band 6 today” It’s a huge relief when I hear our colleagues being referred to by their title, shows a team who appreciate each other for their role in patient care #BeKind

Sad when I’ve heard β€œI’m just a domestic/housekeeper/cleaner” Their skill in the decontamination of care environments can massively reduce the risk of patients acquiring infection. It’s no easy job in the world of healthcare & I hope every colleague in the #NHS appreciates them!

Hospital domestics are unsung heroes. Often operating under the radar, they keep everything ticking over and play a VITAL role in keeping our hospitals safe and free of infection. #monthedomestics #nhs #hospitalcleaners

@stefano_oggiano Sadly it doesn’t take long for comments that treat IPC as a barrier to something. I think we have proved time and time again that we are enablers to support our patients and staff. Never hesitate to contact IPC if you’re unsure of something prior to stating β€œIPC banned this”

Great to see Rediairs well in use during walk arounds this morning. Simple labels promoting to leave switched on certainly appear to improve compliance with use. Thanks to @GamaHealthcare team for all the educational support provided @WalsallHcareNHS πŸ‘

It was also lovely to present on the importance of #hydration for all today with a sneak peak of myself and IPCN Tory having fun during a drinks round; hopefully inspired ideas to encourage hydration to our patients @uhbtrust #EatDrinkDressMove #ThinkDrinkUHB

Return home this evening to the loveliest message from a member of my team. It’s been over 6 months of being in this role @IPCWalsall and I can’t describe how happy I am to be working with these kind professionals who have the patient at the heart of all they do ❀️
