Hi,
Any information or assistance regarding the use of a “nurse pocket” to assist staff with holding pens, keys, phones etc. The broader question, if these are not approved for use right now, is what is the alternative for staff carrying items such as access passes, keys, work phones etc. Not sure we want staff using actual pant pockets, this would be a greater infection risk, would it?
The ones in question, are pictured below and are not wipeable.
Any solutions or a different brand that is wipeable would be appreciated.
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind Regards,
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
We have banned these in all our aged care facilities with some resistance, staff have wipe able phone clips that are wiped over before shift and after shift. Staff place keys on a retractable clip on disc which also houses Id badges which have wipe able covers and a pens are placed in their pockets or clipped onto their lapel. Pant pockets are lesser risk as staff wash their uniforms daily.
Kind Regards

Hi Cindy,
We took the “Pick Pockets” out of use a few years ago – for the simple reason is that staff didn’t wash them. We prefer that staff keep things in their scrub pockets that are washed regularly. Our policy is that staff are to wash their uniforms after each shift.Kind regards,
Kelly

Hi Cindy
We simply issued zip log bags during a recent COVID-19 outbreak for staff to their place personal items.

Hi Cindy
We have migrated to UV technology to address the issue of ‘disinfecting’ all
those things that would be nigh on impossible to otherwise address. Pockets
are among these – we certainly could not effectively address trouser pockets
given they are cleaned in environments beyond our control.Kind regards
