Skin Care for Patients & Carers Skin care for patients and carers is an important part of infection control, to ensure excellent hand hygiene. At Pattersons Healthcare Supplies you are able to find the correct hand soap and hand sanitiser for all skin care needs, including patient care skin care and staff skin care. Our range of hand soap and skin sanitisers for the care industry help you to ensure that hygiene standards are maintained. In recent years there has been an increasing focus on improving infection prevention and hand hygiene in healthcare settings with the particular aim of reducing hospital acquired infections (HAIs) and other infections transmitted in the caring industry. Patient Care – ensure that the hands of staff are clean and decontaminated as appropriate; helping to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses. Staff Care – with the high frequency of hand washing and hand sanitising demanded, ensuring staff maintain good skin condition can be a challenge. Poor skin condition reduces levels of hand hygiene compliance and increases the risk of life-threatening infections being spread. Hand & Skin Sanitisers Hand & skin sanitisers are alcohol based skin sanitisers designed to kill germs and prevent the spread of infection. Sanitisers are an essential product for any infection control system in place in care homes and hospitals. For effective germ management without water, skin sanitizers can be placed in crucial places so there is no excuse for visitors or employees to not adhere to strict infection control standards.
