Clean hands aplenty in NSLHD Staff across the district celebrated World Hand Hygiene Day last week, with displays, activities and challenges keeping everyone on their toes. At Royal North Shore, staff were able to show off their hand hygiene skills for the chance to win a stethoscope, while at Ryde staff had a chance to win a hand hygiene pack. This year’s theme was ‘clean care for all; it’s in your hands’.

Aboriginal Women’s Health Checks The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Health Check Day was held at RNSH with dozens of women coming together to socialise and receive health advice and some pampering. The ladies were able to enjoy a catered lunch, massages, bra fittings and skin and breast checks. Mary (Molly) Florance from the District’s Aboriginal Health Service, said the event promoted conversation about good health health in a culturally respectful and engaging way.
