Tough action on infection control

The University Hospital of North Stafford has also threatened to take tough action against nurses that fail to follow new hygiene rules on uniforms. Staff are being told not to display their uniforms outside of the hospital in an effort to control the risk of infection.

Chief Nurse Sarah Byrom commented: “I have made it clear that if any member of the public sees a member of nursing staff and can see the name of that person then I shall take action with that member of staff.”
