World Hand Hygiene Day – Monday 5 May

Clean hands save lives.

World Hand Hygiene Day is marked each year on 5 May to highlight the importance of handwashing in protecting our health. Good hand hygiene is one of the simplest and most effective ways to help prevent the spread of infections, both in healthcare settings and at home.

Please take a moment to wash your hands thoroughly:

  • when arriving at the practice
  • before and after appointments
  • after coughing, sneezing, or using tissues

By working together, we can help keep our patients, staff, and community safe.
