Alcohol gel for hand washing Wedges should either be wipeable or wrapped so they can be cleaned or change covering. Just be careful with some of the washable ones as they can show up on images Sandbags should also be washable. PPE should be cleaned after usage Equipment should be checked regularly for damage such as cracks which may harbour micro-organisms Surfaces should be cleaned between patients Try and plan your X-ray lists ie those for theatre should be done before those who are poss infected etc</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
