Good hand hygiene is critical in preventing the spread of germs in dental practices. Here are 5 simple steps that you can take to improve hand hygiene compliance in your dental practice:

1. Ensure that sanitising bottles or dispensers are conveniently located throughout your practice.
2. Increase monitoring and surveillance.
3. Choose hand hygiene products that your staff like using.
4. Use signage throughout your practice to promote hand hygiene (e.g. How to Handrub, 5 Moments of Hand Hygiene)
5. Encourage all levels of staff and management to work together and communicate in order to promote a culture of hand hygiene safety.
