Dame Catherine Elcoat, Director of Nursing &
Patient Care at NHS East Midlands, said:
“I am delighted that NHS organisations across the
East Midlands are working together to reduce infection.
Organisations across the East Midlands have been working hard and
have significantly reduced rates of infection. This campaign is
another initiative to raise awareness about the importance of hand
hygiene. This campaign is designed to help inform the general
public on the facts and how a few simple, small steps can really
make a big difference”.
Sir John Brigstocke, Chairman of NHS East
Midlands added:
“Hospitals and other healthcare settings have
invested in equipment and training for staff and the awareness week
is about informing the public about the important role they can
play in helping to reduce infections.”
