Hi Cate
I would imagine the same criteria would apply to Mental health facilities?

Hi there
Does anyone know of a non-alcohol hand sanitiser that can be used in Prison? I have been asked for advice form the Prison and I have no idea. They have a flu outbreak at the moment.

Hi Kristin
My only suggestion is to refer to the Australian Health Facility Guidelines.

Dear colleagues,
We are currently in the design phase of developing our new hospital. Health Infrastructure are pushing a design of a two bed toe to toe room with only 1388mm space between. This measurement does not take into account the curtains around both beds.
I have been searching through the literature for some evidence to support an IP&C argument reflecting the need for increasing the space between the two patient zones.
Health Infrastructure require concrete and not anecdotal evidence.

Does anyone know of any IP&C literature that states design schematics for room designs?
Kind regards
Kristin
