Help prevent infection. Wash your hands regularly.

Title:
Help prevent infection. Wash your hands regularly.
Published:
HPA, March 2004.
Description:
This leaflet was developed by the HPA on behalf of the DHSSPS to support a public information campaign as part of the Antimicrobial Resistance Action Plan (AMRAP). One of the six priority action areas addressed in AMRAP is the promotion of hand washing as an important way to stop the spread of infection, and this leaflet aims to reinforce that message. It points out that germs can be anywhere and no one is safe from hand-transmitted infection. It outlines the case for hand washing, highlights when hands should be washed, explains how hands should be washed, and emphasises that regular washing of hands helps prevent infection.
