Hello,

Our Hospital in the home nurse transports the clinical waste back to the hospital after her home visits to dispose in the hospital clinical waste bins.

Thanks,

Hi All ICAPs in NSW,
What is your local practice on clinical waste (such as fluids from chest drains, abdo drains etc.) disposal after home visit? Do your nursing staff dispose at point of care or transport back to the centre and dispose into the clinical waste bins? Your opinion will be muchly appreciated. Thanks.

Regards,
