Whether you're a patient, visitor, provider, or worker in a healthcare setting – cleaning your hands is one of the best ways to prevent infection. Clean care saves lives.
Every year, 220,000 Canadian patients (approximately one in nine) develop a hospital-acquired infection during their stay in hospital, and an estimated 8,000 of those patients will lose their lives.
Here's a run down of what we've got planned for STOP! Clean Your Hands Day 2019:
Clean Care Conversations Webinar
Register for our webinar on May 6 to learn how to promote clean care with your patients and colleagues. Moderated by The Germ Guy, Jason Tetro, this webinar includes Prince Edward Island's medical microbiologist and infectious disease consultant, Dr. Greg German, and Saskatchewan Patients for Patient Safety Canada patient partner, Carmen Stephens. Healthcare providers and administrators will learn how to introduce clean care conversations with patients and their families, engaging the public in ways to prevent healthcare-acquired infections.
