    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

    Dear Lynette,
    Our Standard Precautions audit has section covering

    Fingernails 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 contracts

    Most 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 colour

    Hope this is of some assistance.
