Mission: To make health a top priority for everyone in Northern Ireland.

In the fight against infection we need all hands to be clean
– liquid soap

Published:
HPA, July 2007, on behalf of the DHSSPS
Description:
This poster was produced to encourage visitors to hospitals to wash or sanitise their hands on entering or leaving the unit. It formed part of a wider DHSSPS campaign aimed at minimising healthcare associated infection (HAI) in Northern Ireland. Its key message is that prevention and control is everyone’s responsibility; all hands need to be clean in the fight against infection. The poster also directs viewers to an information leaflet that explains how to clean hands properly and other hygiene actions that can be taken to minimise HAIs when visiting or staying in hospitals.
