Cutting unnecessary glove use: New guidance issued on glove use and selection
Submitted 1 week 6 days ago by Susannah McWilliam.

With growing concerns about the environmental implications of single use items, this guidance helps to set clear parameters and encourage the cut in unnecessary use of gloves, while meeting infection control needs.
