Yet again however there is one frustrating aspect to all these articles and that is this "We also need ready access to soap and water and alcohol-based disinfectants" my response to the article was as follows.
"I read this article with great interest and totally agree
with the comments made.
However I would also suggest that some of the "fatigue
found" with less frequent hand hygiene and therefore a drop in compliance,
is the lack of choice for healthcare workers, patients and visitors as to the
type of hand rub available.
Yes alcohol based hand rubs have made great steps forward in
hand hygiene practice but is it not time to have available non-alcohol based
hand rubs for those who have problems using ABHR's. By giving a choice
compliance would increase ensuring duty of care to patients and staff."
