Patients and visitors should be encouraged to perform hand hygiene on:
- entry to a healthcare facility
- entry to a ward
- prior to visiting a patient
- at mealtimes
Having alcohol-based handrub available in high traffic areas eg. foyers, entrances to wards, with signage about appropriate use with help encourage this.
