Day 8 of Elfmas! Superbugs vs super elves! But do you know superbugs are just resistant organisms? Antimicrobial resistance is a huge threat. Prevent infection, use antimicrobials correctly and sample where possible to guide treatment! #stayelfy @cwpnhs #infectionprevention 🦠

Elfmas Day 7! 🦷 Oral hygiene is important for preventing infections such as pneumonia, dental infections and even endocarditis. Brush teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste & ask people if they need any help with this important task! #stayelfy #mouthcarematters @cwpnhs

6th Day of Elfmas! We sent these two on quality improvement training to get lots of lovely ideas for new projects! Remember to check you are in date with your IPC training, and feel free to discuss IPC training needs with the team! No reindeer were harmed! #stayelfy @cwpnhs

5th day of elfmas! These two have been caught red (and green handed) painting on the wall. Elves you can’t use hand gel to clean your hands if they are visibly dirty! It definately won’t remove paint. If there is visible grime on your hands you need to wash with soap and water

4th Day of Elfmas! Just found this ‘lesson’ about stool types going on. Remember always use the Bristol Stool Chart if monitoring stools, and seek advice if there is a change in consistency, colour or frequency of your poo or there is blood in it! #stayelfy #infectionprevention

3rd Day of Elfmas! Norovirus is circulating. If you have diarrhoea and/or vomiting stay at home until 48 hours clear, use spill kits if required, wash your hands with soap and water and disinfect surfaces with a hypochlorite! 🦠 Poor Eric! 🤢

What a pair of bananas! 🍌 Did you know fruit and veg can be a great source of fluid to help towards staying hydrated? Staying hydrated can help to prevent UTI, reduce falls and aid skin integrity. Stay hydrated and healthy! #stayelfy #12daysofelfmas #hydration #preventuti

The team are out and about this week for World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week! Stop and chat to us about AMR! 💊🦠💊💙 @cwpnhs

The team are promoting hydration today at an autumn fayre for one of our extra care providers! 🍂 💧🫖🧃#hydrate #infectionprevention #hydrationawareness #preventUTI

Adequate hydration is critical to prevent UTIs, reduce antimicrobial prescribing and prevent hospital admissions #AMS @cwp_ipc great to see the progress across Sefton!
