Hi Jane,

We have a happy mix of both. When our Trust introduced a new uniform policy associated with infection control campaign – we were provided with nurse specialist uniforms for when we are working in a clinical capacity ie taking blood and administering  vaccinations, or if we go into clinical  areas to see staff there such as during the flu campaigns. This has been very well received by both the OH staff and the people we see who feel this is more appropriate and professional for these tasks – however when seeing management referrals and other non clinical duties we continue to wear normal clothes which seems a good balance.

Could I have your professional opinion on whether OHA's should wear uniform, pros and cons. Thanks Jane
