Hand washing the right way

Hand washing is one of the key principles in the safe provision of care.  Without correct hand washing in between patients there is a very high risk transfer of infections.  This technique is slowed down for demonstration but you should practice it and get it down to about 30 seconds for routine washing.  Alcohol gel is useful but can only be used on clean hands and does not prevent transfer of bacterial spores such as when dealing with clostridium difficile.
