As well as promoting its range of infection control information for practitioners and pet owners at BSAVA 2015, The Bella Moss Foundation is urging delegates to take part in its fun hand washing competition and be in with the chance to win a great pet fitness prize.
The Clean Hands Challenge, sponsored by Vetoquinol, will take place at stand 4 in the ICC, alongside a brand new instructional hand hygiene video produced by leading vets Tim Nuttall and Chris Laurence.
Eager delegates will have their hands sprayed with UV activated dye – taking the place of bugs and bacteria. They will then be asked to wash their hands – seemingly a simple enough task – before being shown, with the aid of a UV wand, how much “bacteria” they were able to remove.
Top-notch hand washers will then be entered into a daily prize draw to win a Tractive MOTION pet activity monitor for their pets and patients.
BMF founder Jill Moss said: “We all think we’re pretty good at washing our hands – and it’s a basic, everyday function for clinicians – but at the same time hand washing can become perfunctory, especially when you are busy. And how often do we really think about whether we’re doing it right?”
The Bella Moss Foundation will be at stand 4 in the ICC, Birmingham from the 9th – 12th April 2015.
