Hi All

I am after some advice about uniform policy/hand hygiene and culturally
sensitive attire outside our facilities guidelines ie. bare below the elbows

What is acceptable within a healthcare environment? also some suggestion on
how to address this with healthcare workers without causing offense.

Thanks

Kirsty
