Hi All,
We would greatly appreciate any feedback regarding how this issue is managed in your facilities.
Long sleeves for religious / cultural reasons is not a common occurrence in our community.
We have a policy in place which we are about to review.
Many ThanksCath Wade

HI Cath,
I have been working with our dialysis clinics across 11 Asia and Pacific
countries and many different cultures and religions.
Regarding uniforms, we have not had any issues implementing a bare below
elbow policy in the clinical area, from a cultural or religious
perspective.With best regards

Hi Cath,
We have in our Professional Dress Code guideline the following statement:Cultural Dress Requirements:
For nurses that have specific cultural dress requirements, the following applies:
* Skirts are of a style that does not restrict movement.
* Sleeves are tight fitting at wrist length and are able to be secured above elbow for hand washing techniques
* Headwear will be short length, secured with clips not pins, and will not cover any part of the faceOur hand hygiene guideline also states that you should be bare-below-the -elbows but that if long sleeves are worn they need to be able to be pushed up for clinical contact.
Regards,
Donna.
