🎙️ Tetras show case 🎙️ Every week for the next month we want to show case a feature of our revolutionary Tetras water portal as we launch its latest update. Today we will take a look at the continuous workbook. This feature was designed in collaboration with Great Ormond Street Hospital. The Infection Control team at GOSH wanted a way to effortlessly see historical water analysis data within one easy to use workbook. The continuous workbook allows our clients to scroll through water analysis results within a specific time line. Tetras clients can analysis their water quality by date, building and area, or they can search for a specific outlet. They can then choose to see only certain water quality tests - such as Legionella or Pseudomonas. In this way they can drill into specific problem areas and gain a better understanding of the historical context to outlet contaminations. If the client has opted to utilise our Reef 'software backed water remedial service', then the client will also be able to view past remedial actions that have been performed at this outlet. In this way they can easily see the historical impact of remedial actions upon their water system. If you'd like to find out more then please contact our sales team at sales@proeconomy.com for an online demo. #Water #WaterTreatment #EstatesandFacilities #NHS #InfectionControl

🧼 Global Handwashing Day - A Simple Act, A Global Impact 🌍 Today, we highlight the power of hand hygiene as one of the most effective ways to prevent infections and combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As European Specialist Nurses Organisation, we recognize that proper handwashing is a 'Simple Act with Massive Implication', especially in healthcare settings where infection prevention is critical. 💧 Did you know? Handwashing can prevent the spread of life-threatening diseases. Yet globally, 2.3 billion people at home and around 802 million children at school lack access to proper handwashing facilities with soap and water. On this #GlobalHandwashingDay, we join UNICEF in urging countries to make hand hygiene a priority to save lives. Proper hand hygiene: ➡️ Reduces the spread of infections. ➡️ Protects patients and healthcare workers alike. ➡️ Helps prevent the rise of resistant bacteria, reducing the need for antibiotics. With the threat of AMR growing globally, we emphasize that every action counts. Let’s make handwashing with soap a regular, well-practiced habit—not just today, but every day. It’s our responsibility to ensure that hygiene remains a cornerstone in health systems and communities alike. Join us in promoting #InfectionPrevention and reducing the risk of #AntimicrobialResistance through proper hand hygiene. Clean hands save lives!
