Do housekeepers in hospitals wear scrubs?
They do (in our local P.C.T.) and certainly should do in all Primary Care Trusts of the National Health Service. They should to the extent that they remove the clothing that they wear to and from the hospital in a certain changing area, shower and wash themselves and then change in to their srcubs on the other side of some kind of airlock. Then after the cleaning is complete then the disposable clothing is incinerated, the cleaners shower again and then on the other side of the airlock they change in to their outside clothing. This should be the same for all Hospital staff right from the top management, and consultants and go right down in to the lowest levels of clerical & admin staff and orderlies. All hospitals in this day and age should make the assumption that every single patient is neutrophenic.
