Hi Kerry
We have refurbished our ED and there was no consultation with Cleaning Services Manager when the final decision was made. Now, with beautiful – almost white floors – it shows up every mark.

My advice it to be careful of colour when deciding on the floor type

Thanks

Subject: Re: Floor coverings for new hospital

Hi Kerry,

There was a lot of information on carpets on the list a few weeks ago.

In our new hospital Infection Prevention & Control stipulated that
floor coverings throughout must be easy to clean and resistant to
disinfection procedures therefore all clinical areas utilise both slip
resistant and non slip vinyl (as required).

The vinyl selected is a Polyurethane reinforced low maintenance PVC
floor covering engineered for heavy duty hospital and health care use.

We reviewed a lot of vinyl products but haven’t seen the Bolon. For us
it was important that we could clean the product with our usual neutral
detergents (some require special cleaning agents) and if required
disinfect with Hypochlorite 1000ppm, so that narrowed down the field.

Regards

Julie

We are in the planning stages of building a new hospital. It is time to
decide on floorcoverings.

I would be interested on your thoughts regarding carpet verses vinyl in
residents’ bedrooms in a high care facility.

Also, does anyone have any experience with a European design “Bolon”
textured vinyl.

I look forward to your thoughts.

Hi everyone

I have a very keen medical officer who wants to be a champion for improving IV cannula insertion. Does anyone have an observational audit tool they would like to share?

I have an observational audit tool for aseptic technique wound dressing I would be willing to swap for IV cannula insertion!

Thanks

Hi Louise
What is the purpose of the dishwasher? Is it part of the rehabilitation program for patients?

Hi all,

Currently we are involved in the development and building of a new rehab facility.

The issue surrounding placing domestic dishwashers in the patients dining room/pantry area has arisen. I have expressed concerns around this.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience, info, supporting documentation that they could share with me.

Many thanks in advance

Louisa
