Again we see and hear of examples of nursing still wearing their uniforms outside work. Read this article about nurses uniforms posing superbug risk .

  Is there a reason why we still see nurses, care assistances and others wearing their healthcare uniforms outside the workplace ? Is it the employers fault for not providing enough uniforms or implementing a correct uniform policy ?

This applies not only to hospitals but to care homes, these superbugs can also be found there, as residents are admitted from hospitals, sometimes with this bug.

Nursing homes should seriously review their uniform policy and where needs be, they should increase their healthcare uniform quota. Too many are too tight when it comes to providing a sufficient number of uniforms sets to their staff. Even if they are not prepared to pay for these uniforms, they should insist on the correct number of sets of healthcare uniforms required by nursing staff to do their jobs in a correct manner.

When will they realise that a uniform is not an item which can be cut back on. Come on get it sorted and help elimate these superbugs. Provide your staff with enough uniforms PLEASE !!!
