Healthy skin, safe patients: the value of patient hygiene

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on the quality of healthcare delivery in the UK. Infection preventionists have had to grapple with the rapidly changing nature of the hospital environment, while also navigating the risks posed by this new disease. The proliferation of life-threatening hospital acquired infections (HCAIs) across the world has placed more impetus on hospitals and healthcare environments to develop a consistent approach to patient hygiene practices, and the UK is no different. With the heightened risk of HCAIs since the pandemic, we owe it to our patients to drive a change in hygiene practices that can ultimately protect them from preventable illnesses.
