Sharps injuries: An article by Nurse Advocacy Manager Jane Mills
This article by Nurse Advocacy Manager Jane
Mills, looks at the extent and impact of UK health sector
employee needle and glass associated injuries.
It is thought that there is significant under reporting of this
problem and whilst the UK has until 2013 to adopt a directive for
reduction there already exists regulation supporting the use of
safer techniques and equipment.
The promotion of safer practice in this area is important for
occupational health and sharps injury management systems should
save costs.
This article will be of interest to pharmacists and hospital
staff as well as people with Parkinson's.
