If you're pregnant, it is important to get vaccinated for #WhoopingCough. The vaccine will protect your baby in the first few weeks of their life. 🤰🛡️

Speak to your GP or midwife to find out more and book an appointment.

Supporting patient hand hygiene is really important.@SWBHnhs we use @GamaHealthcare hands wipes for every meal service to make hand hygiene easy and accessible.

[SWBH IPC @IpcSwbh]

Top tips from last weeks world hand hygiene day @SWBHnhs
1. Always wet your hands first before applying soap.
2. One shot of soap or sanizer is plenty! Over use of soap can contribute to dry skin.
3. Apply moisturiser to the back of your hands first, leave your palms until last.
