Good morning
I would be interested in other people’s thoughts or if there is any
policy concerning the use of shower curtains in health care facilities.
Also what cleaning and replacement currently occurs in health care
facilities for shower curtains?Regards

Hi Christine,
We use them in our ensuites, including our newly opened building and also have a changing regime for them. They are then laundered in a commercial laundry.
In relation to removing them the objections that have been raised to me include:
The bathroom, toilet, IV pump, other equipment etc will get wet if they are not there.
The ensuites are not big enough to put in a nib wall / solid screen and still allow nursing access for assistance in the shower.
Required for privacy if someone opens the door inadvertentlyKind regards,
