to be technically correct, WHO are only recommending this handwashing method, it was first described by Ayliffe in 1978 and is known as the Ayliffe technique within healthcare settings

Yep, learn this method and make sure that you can do it correctly! It does appear on one of the OSCE tasks.

This takes you to a page created by WHO (World Health Organistation) who have created a step by step method of hand cleaning to ensure that health care-assiosiated infections are not passed from pataint-care-patiant.

The method ensures all parts of the hands are cleaned, and is internationally reconised and used by all kinds of health care professionals. In your exams you are expected to use the WHO method, and everyone should be doing it so it becomes second nature.

Hope the site helps
