Check out sterillium http://www.hrhealthcare.co.uk/bode.html

Whenever I train practices that have this in place by the end of the day my hands can tell the difference.

You realise how harsh some other products are.

[quote user="Laura James"]We've just had a few bottles of Demastel (I think) which is a Triclosan handwash with a moisturiser in it. It's not brilliant but its a lot better than using hibisbrub! I also carry a tube of Soap and Glorys' Endless glove - I couldn't live without this! :)

[/quote] Sorry, I've just read this back and it sounds wrong - You can get Demastel but you can also get Dermastel handwash with moisturiser. We use Anistel in our practice and they sent us a couple of 500ml bottles to try, maybe get onto your rep to see if you can get a few :)

We use mediscrub at work for hand washing (although normal chlorhex for surgical scrubbing) it has triclosan in it and is slightly more gentle on hands. Don't forget to moisturise often as dry skin can harbour bacteria esp dry skin around fingernails!
