Hi everyone

We are looking into the possible incidence of dermatitis amongst healthcare workers who use handwash which contains chlorhexidine 0.5% in isopropyl alcohol 70% as daily hand cleanser. Does anyone use this type of handwash, and if so does it cause any concerns among the staff?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Stella
