There are and they have to use them but the researchers think that they won't get swapped as often as arms get washed so they will end up not being hygenic.....

The guidance says: ‘Where, for religious reasons, members of staff wish to cover their forearms or wear a bracelet when not engaged in patient care, ensure that sleeves or bracelets can be pushed up the arm and secured in place for hand-washing and direct patient care.
‘In a few instances, staff have expressed a preference for disposable over-sleeves – elasticated at the wrist and elbow – to cover forearms during patient care activity.
‘Disposable over-sleeves can be worn where gloves are used but strict adherence to washing hands and wrists must be observed before and after use.’

Aah, not reading the blooming articles again. I have this strong adversity to casting eyes on the Daily Heil. But this kind of proves the point, doesn't it?

You are making an incorrect assumption about where I got that info from........iirc it was the Times or the Telegraph.

Re: Sleeves in hospitals are a health risk.
But it was in the OP's link to the Daily Heil. If you want me to make correct assumptions on your sources, it may have been prudent to declare them in the first place.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in every healthcare facility in every country and affect hundreds of millions of patients annually worldwide, including in developing countries, according to World Health Organisation (WHO) research. Hand hygiene is recognised as the single most important measure in attempts to prevent the spread of HAIs and, since the launch of this challenge in 2005, much has been achieved in healthcare settings around the world to improve infection control, including hand hygiene practices, to generate reductions in HAIs.

............but the NHS has let some people off the hook when it comes to this.

Rammy ! Don't go there ! Flyboy will just ask you a series of idiotic questions, without ever answering any of his own, and will eventually say that anyone opposed to the unilateral changes to the agreed *Bare below the elbows* directive to all hospital staff in contact with patients, is a bigot and a racist.... Its what he does in virtually every thread....
