May 5 is Hand Hygiene Day, a moment for all of us to be reminded about the importance of proper hand washing to protect yourself and those receiving the care you provide. The simple act of cleaning your hands can prevent the spread of germs, including those that are resistant to antibiotics. Some healthcare personnel may need to clean their hands as many as 100 times during a work shift. Keeping the skin on your hands healthy and clean is a challenge that requires all healthcare personnel to be knowledgeable about how to care for their hands and when hands should be cleaned. How You Should Clean Your Hands With an alcohol-based hand sanitizer: • Put product on hands and rub hands together • Cover all surfaces until hands feel dry • This should take around 20 seconds With soap and water: • Wet your hands with warm water. Use liquid soap if possible. Apply a nickel- or quarter-sized amount of soap to your hands. • Rub your hands together until the soap forms a lather and then rub all over the top of your hands, in between your fingers and the area around and under the fingernails. • Continue rubbing your hands for at least 15 seconds. Need a timer? Imagine singing the “Happy Birthday” song twice. • Rinse your hands well under running water. • Dry your hands using a paper towel if possible. Then use your paper towel to turn off the faucet and to open the door if needed.

In celebration of National Smile Month, we're sharing tips about oral hygiene. Did you know 69% of adults don't floss regularly? In fact, around a third of us have never flossed or cleaned interdentally! Flossing helps combat food and plaque build up between your teeth and on top of your gum line, prevent erosion of enamel between teeth and reduces bad breath. It's best practice to - ✅ Floss before brushing to disrupt food particles so that you can brush more thoroughly. ✅ Floss in a C-shape. The floss should go between and curve a little under the side of your tooth to get around your gum line - not in a sawing action. ✅ Use good quality floss to reduce the risk of floss breaking or getting stuck between your teeth Why not try flossing this national smile month to better support your oral hygiene? #NationalSmileMonth #OralHygiene #healthandwellbeing
