Hand hygiene is one of the most important means of reducing the transmission of infection. At University Hospital Lewisham, efforts to improve hand hygiene have included better sink, soap and towel provision, and the distribution of posters, leaflets, badges, balloons and pens. There are signs pointing to the nearest sink, and hand decontaminants at the end of most beds.
