Percy PPE promotes infection prevention at NSLHD Percy PPE, Sterrimatt’s infection prevention ambassador, recently visited Royal North Shore, Hornsby Ku-ring-gai and Macquarie Hospitals, spreading awareness about PPE use, hand hygiene, and compliance.
Over two days, Percy joined the NSLHD Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) team to engage staff through interactive PPE stations and random audits. The best performing station will be recognised at the MHDA IPAC Champions end of year event. At the Royal North Shore Child Care Centre, Percy promoted handwashing and food safety while helping kids defeat the Norovirus bug. Children enjoyed games, decorated doughnuts, and practised their hand hygiene skills. “This visit was a great way to connect with staff and the community,” said Mae Sia, Clinical Nurse Consultant, NSLHD Infection Prevention and Control and Physical Health (MHDA). “It’s vital to promote hand hygiene and prevent diseases like gastro in healthcare and community settings.” Percy’s visit encouraged staff to ask questions, refine their skills, and ensure PPE compliance. Percy’s educational outing encouraged staff to ask questions with the use of PPE station in the unit.
