every little helps Glenn -----Original Message----- From: Frank Oakes <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Sun, 18 Jul 2010 16:44 Subject: (no subject) I just remembered that I think it is Tesco who do not allow any medical personnel in the store in uniform anymore. Good on them.

If she wants to announce to the world she is important and works in an operating theatre as a nurse, she should have no problems with you announcing to the world that she is carrying germs that she is passing around! In my time in the xray dept (94-99) we wore scrubs under our lead coats as it got really hot in summer but we had very clear guidance in that our dresses had to be laundered by us (and that you get tax relief for this) however scrubs were washed by hospital laundry and not to be taken off site.

I have seen her before actually so may take a photo next time...............any OH in the NHS out there have any pointers as to what infection control policy is these days with regards wearing uniform in public? And since when did the NHS NOT launder uniforms or provide a changing area? I am so out of touch - and to be honest fairly thankful for it at the moment Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2010 09:05:26 +0100 From: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] To: [log in to unmask] Sharon, firstly the dinosaurs survived much longer than man will. Secondly I am with you on this one. We used to get in trouble for going near the hospital gates in uniform but don’t worry as nowadays we have infection control and czars to eliminate the problems which we never had back in the day so I guess this has to be classed as progress. People should start taking photographs of such things and send them to their local papers. Name and shame with the subtitle ‘this could be the person who infects you. The system has the bulk of the responsibility IMO. My wife can work 5 days a week. She has 3 uniforms, no laundry service or changing room. Sunday rant over.

Please tell me she hadnt just come from work....its put me off my lunch ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
