The obvious link between the physical environment and the ability to keep it clean has opened up a debate. Here, ‘environment’ does not signify the nebulous cloud of things that lie beyond and around the practices and interventions that we believe are the prime means by which microbes, and thus infections, are transmitted, but the ‘bricks and mortar’ that contribute to the architecture, layout, construction and fabric of each building used for healthcare. An early acknowledgement that the environment was once again officially significant was within the Controls Assurance Standards (now, unfortunately, no longer with us). Within Criterion No.4, ‘Prevention and control of infection is considered as part of all service development activity’ were statements that ‘Infection Control are involved in the development of policies relating to engineering and building services for the trust’, that ‘Infection Control are made aware and kept informed of all developments and actions taken in-between planning meetings’, also ‘infection control priorities are taken into account by hospital managers when considering purchase of equipment, consumables etc or in the planning of new facilities’ and that ‘planning teams have easy access to all relevant guidance relating to infection control matters’. In addition there were a number of statements to the effect that infection control teams should be involved in all stages relating to the purchase, or contracting processes, that relate to the hospital’s services (such as cleaning and waste disposal). More recently, Standards for Better Health core standard C21 within the sixth domain says: ‘Healthcare services are provided in environments which promote effective care and optimise health outcomes by being well designed and well maintained with cleanliness levels in clinical and non-clinical areas that meet the national specifications for clean NHS premises.’ In addition, Challenge 8 from Saving Lives directs us to ‘Review the status of the built environment and the effectiveness of the facilities management services, including cleaning, in order to provide a safe and clean environment for patient care.’ But the most relevant question under Challenge 8, in the context of this editorial, is – ‘Is the ICT involved at all stages in the design and building of new healthcare facilities or the refurbishment of existing facilities?’ This question underpins the importance of getting layout and construction details right first time, because once built it becomes difficult, disruptive and expensive to change these aspects of a building. In terms of legal impact, the most forceful declaration that the environment must be considered is probably The Health Act 2006 – Code","PeriodicalId":265443,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Infection Control","volume":"239 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133824431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Observations of medical and nursing staffs' hand hygiene compliance were made by the same observers in two different hospitals in Sydney and Birmingham, in both intensive care units (ICU) and surgical wards, using a standardised data collection tool. Results: Hand hygiene rates pre- and post-patient contact were low for both nurses and doctors in Sydney and Birmingham, with the exception of Sydney ICU doctors (pre-contact 74.8% and post-contact 75.7%, p=0.868). Post-contact compliance was low but significantly better than pre-contact in Sydney ICU nurses (41.3% versus 59.6% p<0.0001), surgical ward nurses (14.9% versus 29.6%, p=0.0019) and Sydney surgeons (10.2% versus 30.2%, p<0.0001). Post-contact compliance rates were low but higher than pre-contact in Birmingham ICU nurses (33.1% versus 52.2%, p=0.0011) and doctors (29.3% versus 70.1%, p<0.0001) but not in the Birmingham surgical ward (nurses: 42.6% versus 43.4%, p=0.89; surgeons: 39.6% versus 48.4%, p=0.187). Handwashing on removal of gloves was extremely low (1.7% to 16.6%), regardless of city, specialties or clinical staff. Conclusion: The pattern of post-contact compliance and non-compliance associated with glove use strongly suggests hand hygiene practice in both countries is primarily self-protective rather than a patient safety centred practice.","PeriodicalId":265443,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Infection Control","volume":"21 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113934859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
