A surgeon, hospital porter and phlebotomists, who take blood from patients, were among the workers at the Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow who did not properly adhere to guidance on hand hygiene.
The Healthcare Environment Inspectorate, which carried out the unannounced visit on February 7, said that while most areas of the hospital were clean, one ward had dirty bed rails, including one which was contaminated with blood. Patient call bells in the diabetes and endocrinology ward were dirty and stained.
