National Hand Hygiene Campaign
On 15th January a national hand hygiene campaign will be launched across Scotland aimed at reducing avoidable illness amongst staff, patients and the general public. It will consist of two major elements;
- a public media campaign, involving Press and TV adverts which will run until the end of February 2007 and,
- a specific NHS Campaign to raise awareness of Hand Hygiene within NHS Healthcare settings, targeting NHS Scotland staff, patients and visitors. This campaign will continue until at least March 2008
As well as the TV and press campaign, a website has also been developed which provides further information on Hand Hygiene as well as useful links to other websites. This website will evolve over the course of the next year and will be used by both members of the public and NHS Staff. The address is www.washyourhandsofthem.com
