I am in agreement with the Chair of MRSA UK, in that there should have been more consultation before the new recommendation was published.
I know. I made a point of stating "if " there was decent evidence to support this in my first post
I don't know if there is (and frankly cant be a'rsd to look into it much either )
However arms are attached to hands so it seems reasonable to wash some distance up the forearms and sleeves will also touch hands if they are allowed to be worn.....
