Not only did I get your message but I got your font style, font size, language etc. I’ll look into the formatting of the message as something as changed in the discussion emails.
In relation to your query, I cannot help as we have had no issue with Feminine Hygiene but hopefully someone else can advise.

Environment, Equipment & Products 3 years, 10 months agoHello all
In hospitals that are fit-testing, what do you advise staff who have beards and CANNOT be fit-tested?
Are they removed from the area? Recommended not to work with patients with COVID? Cannot intubate or extubate patients? etc.
Please can you advise.

Lenora Leonard replied to the topic IV Teams in the forum
Miscellaneous 4 years agoGood morning Judith
We don’t have an IV team in Beacon; we do have a phlebotomy service that take bloods from inpatients in the mornings but they do not manage IVs. I think SJH have an IV team and have completed a lot of work on IV Management, surveillance and education.
Kind regards
