Regarding the upsurge of hospital acquired infection......I think another thing to considered is the volume of visitors now. With the open visiting system many more people will visit a patient, they sit on the beds, bring in food which is left on locker tops......patients also seem to be out and about in the hospital corridors more than ever they were before.......it was very hard to make sure that there were only 2 visitors to a bed. I'm sure that all these things need to be taken into consideration.
I know that the skin on my hands is wrecked from 30 years of washing with antibacterial cleansers.
