Hi all,

At present, we are looking at various ways to increase compliance with
Hand Hygiene. We are looking at developing a screen saver for all PC"s in
the hospital as a nice simple reminder to perform the ultimate task.
A colleague remembers that some time ago, a screen saver that shows the
six steps of how to perform hand hygiene was developed and in use in some
hospitals.
I have not seen it to date, but has anyone else?
If so, and you have you any information about it, I would be very grateful.
Also, if anyone is using a screen saver and finds it useful can they also
get in touch with me.

Thank you in advance,

Tracy Doherty,
Infection prevention and control nurse,
Beaumont Hospital.

Hi
I can remember Vernacare did one featuring their hand washing posters. It
was very useful as it scrolled through the different scenarios with the
words Now wash your hands etc.
Many people asked me where I got it from- it was a CD so maybe they still
have it available?

Hi,
a colleague told me that this is being done by Salford Royal Hospitals NHS trust & is on their website. Sorry don't have the UHL - you could try googling it.

In critical care in Portsmouth we have a computer in each bed space with a
screen saver of hands being washed. We started to use these just before the
clean your hands campaign and were wondering if the posters used in the
campagn could be made into screen savers. Just think of the save in printing
and postage.

We are looking at a screen saver that can be used as a teaching tool as well. It will be launched at the Conference so you could look out for it there if you are going. The company is called VIS-IT. Tel 01702 560 540.
