A candid shot of our colleagues hosting a stall for #WorldHandHygieneDay, offering advice on the importance of clean hands to limit the spreading of illness.
Washing your hands often and thoroughly is essential. https://t.co/ZQVnr4xRKH

To avoid spreading #InfectiousDiseases in the #NorthEast - make sure your hands are really clean It's no good using hand sanitiser on dirty hands - you need to wash for 20 seconds in soap & warm water to remove germs See #NHS #Handwashing technique: https://t.co/M3n5psIng4

• look after your hands (moisturise often)
• be a positive role model for others

Our infection prevention and control (IPC) nurses recently held a study day for our IPC link workers to learn more about how to prevent respiratory infections.

The link workers are ward champions who work with the IPC team to ensure best practice is embedded in our care.

Merry Christmas from all at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust https://t.co/6nhlhwD2Bc via @YouTube

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Get vaccinated.

Get your closest friends and family vaccinated.

Masks when indoors and crowded.

Lots of lateral flow tests.

And live your life as best and to the fullest as you can. This thing is never going away.
