1. No wearing long-sleeves. If you do wear long sleeves, then the sleeve has to be folded up to the elbow.
2. No wearing bangles, watches, rings or anything else on fingers and wrist.
3. When you enter the ward (even if you just went out for lunch), you have to wash your hands up to your wrists using a handwash technique.
4. Before touching a patient, you have to wash you hands with a special alcohol splash (will be everywhere around the ward). After each patient, before touching another patient, you have to wash your hands with the alcohol splash again.
5. You are not allowed to wear labcoats (white coat that doctors/pharmacist/cleaners in Russia/butchers in Russia wear).
6. You must carry with you a pen, a drug dosage book, a calculator (to calculate the drug dosage) and a pen torch. Thus, you can see everyone walking around with a pouch or sling bag to keep all their stuff.
7. You are allowed to use your own stethoscope in the Paediatric ward, but you have to wipe it with an alcohol swab (provided in the hospital) before you use it on a patient.
8. In the Neonatal ward (children below 1 year of age), you use the stethoscope provided by the hospital, and even then, have to wipe it with the alcohol swab before using it for a patient.
9. You have to wash your hands before and after each blood taking procedure.
10. No wearing anything that hangs (i.e. name tags). Name tags are to be pinned or clipped to your shirt. Ties have to be stuffed into your shirt.
All for the sake of effective infection control.
