Morning,
I was wondering if anyone has a good uniform audit that I could look at as we are wanting to do a ‘snapshot’ look at what is happening in our clinical areas as we are starting to see a lot of jewellery and cardigans worn during patient care creep back into the hospital.
Thanks
With kind regards,

Dear Lynette,
Our Standard Precautions audit has section coveringFingernails are natural, and there is no jewellery
Sleeves must be above the elbow.
Wearing outer garments in the direct delivery of care does pose potential IPAC risk however employees that do so are in breach of Uniform/employee contractsMost Uniform policies state what can and cannot be worn in the delivery of clinical care and a small sample of a cut and paste from one I have recently looked at.
Female Staff
Uniform
As per the NSW Health Staff Uniform Catalogue link above
Cardigan/Vest (outer garments)
These items are not to be worn when providing direct clinical care. (PACH staff may wear a sleeveless vest when delivering care in patients homes)
Stockings / socks
Stockings or socks are required to be worn as part of the uniform. Socks must be blue or black in colour.
Male Staff
Uniform
As per the NSW Health Staff Uniform Catalogue link above
Cardigan or Jumper/Vest (outer garments)
These items are not to be worn when providing direct clinical care. (PACH staff may wear a sleeveless vest when delivering care in patients homes)
Stockings / Socks
Stockings or Socks are required to be worn as part of the uniform. Socks must be navy or
blue or black in colourHope this is of some assistance.
