Anybody know what best practice is?
It shouldn't differ from best practice in acute or other hospitals.
Other than isolation patients there was no PPE worn when engaging with the residents
My dear Leper,
I assume that in future that you'll restrict your commentary to subjects that in which you have qualifications?
Are you aware of the outbreaks in nursing homes and the dangers these pose to patients and the inevitable deaths and suffering that will ensue?
The specific reason for my question is that yesterday, I zoomed a resident and the carer clearly was not wearing any PPE. I thought this was strange and so asked the question.
So before contacting the nursing home to understand its procedures in relation to PPE, I am simply seeking to better inform myself. With respect, your post is unhelpful. It suggests that when you see something concerning, you should, by default, assume that the authority doing the action giving rise to the concern, knows best*. This is not always a smart approach. It seems that all other posters, to date, would be concerned with the absence of PPE. That's why we are debating this issue. If you have nothing constructive to add, simply ignore the thread.
*I thought I had a tracker mortgage but the bank, who are the experts in banking, said that I didn't - so I guess I should just leave it at that then!
