Infants learn about hand hygiene 15/9/11
Children aged three and four who attend Stornoway Playgroup recent became hand hygiene ‘germ busters’ when they received training in hand hygiene provided by NHS Western Isles.
Infection Control Nurse Janice Mackay has, in the past, delivered training and awareness sessions to children in Stornoway Primary School and well as groups of youngsters in Stornoway Playgroup.
A recent training session for 24 children at Stornoway Playgroup on Keith Street was delivered as in line with the current playgroup project ‘All About Me’. As part of the project, children are currently learning about their hands and hand hygiene; including when to wash their hands, why they need to wash their hands and how to wash their hands.
