Hi Helen,

I don’t have any specific research but we use an automatic dispenser for handgel on the wall and residents can’t access the product.

Hello all

I wondered if anyone has specific research into the installation of wall mounted ABHR units in wings for residents with dementia. Much of the research or reported cases of people drinking ABHR relate to individual bottles of solution and not from wall mounted units. W are currently looking the installation across all of our units and wondered if anyone has undertaken a risk assessment of this or had experience/opinions of this. We naturally want to balance the safety risk for the confused resident with the risk of not have suitable hand hygiene methods available from an IPC perspective.

Kind regards,
