We introduced alcohol gel at the end of bedsides in April 2005, however the brackets which the gel sits in are continuously going missing from the end of beds although they are provided free at the moment it is only a matter of time before we are charged for them. Has anyone else experienced the same problem or any suggestions as to where they put theirs.
Thanks

We had a similiar problem so we have now stuck our brackets to the end of most beds and this appears to be working. An alternative idea is to screw holders to patient lockers but this has its disadvantages.
