    Hi All,
    With the increasing amount of equipment, trolleys, technology etc being introduced to our patient care areas, cleaning of these items can be challenging & often causes great debate. Staff are expected to clean patient care equipment after use, but not all items are used on a daily basis but will require periodical cleaning e.g. minimum weekly & not all patient care equipment / technology items are used directly on a patient e.g. stock trolleys, computers on wheels etc
    Is a nurses job, an environmental Services or other staff job?
    We would greatly appreciate any information people would be willing to share generic list of items for a ward & the associated cleaning schedule & who performs task.
    We would also appreciate any information about how you negotiated the allocation of cleaning tasks
    Many Thanks

    Hi
    Here at BMDAM & Springwood hospital, we have a simple drawn up chart, one for wards-persons and one for nurses, that equipment has to have a full clean and be signed off when attended. We have separate ones for wards-persons and separate ones for each of our ward areas for the nurses.
    Happy to share.

    With regards
