HI Danielle,
As hands should be washed if visibly soiled (nappies, continence aids)or in a gastro outbreak, then I would think that Hand basins would be required in the individual rooms
Kind regards,
Chris

Hi Dannielle,
I think it is good to understand that when there is a patient, hand hygiene basin must be performed. Every. Remember Normal flora & transient flora can cause infection/harm. Remember if the hand of either a carer/parents is soiled with any patients belongings or any procedures; it’s best to do HH in the patients environment. Remember the 5 moments of hand hygiene. After touching the patients environment. If it’s at the corridor, I think it’s another environment apart from the patients environment.
Just some ideas.
Thank you,
Betty

Hi brains trust
I have just been asked to review the plans for a brand new paediatric hospice, located off campus.
It will provide step down, respite and end of life care to our paediatric patients, with a focus on being a home-like environment.
I am told by the project team that there is no requirement or precedent for clinical handwashing basins in the patient room.
Handwashing by staff can be undertaken in the ensuite or at handbasins located in the corridor.
I cannot find any relevant standards pertaining specifically to hospice design. Its scope is not similar to aged care facilities nor a inpatient hospital room.
Can anyone help?
Kind regards
Danielle
