Welcome to ourVirtual NurseMany people have wished theycould be in two places at onetime and for the Director ofNursing and Midwifery at RBCH,this is now a reality.A virtual version of PaulaShobbrook has been placedin the main atrium at RBH toeducate patients and visitorsabout good hand hygiene andto encourage them to use handgel before they go on to wards orclinical areas.Virtual Paula is positionedbetween two hand gel pumps,which will be monitored to assesswhether the use of hand gelgoes up, and if infection levels godown.Paula said: “Our low levels ofinfection are among the bestin the region but we cannotbecome complacent. We activelyencourage our patients andvisitors to wash their handsand this is another tool whichwill hopefully capture people’sattention as soon as they walkthrough the front door.”Separate seasonal messageshave been filmed as well as afilm for Christchurch Hospital,so virtual Paula may soonfind herself on the move andeducating even more peopleabout infection control.Facebookand TwitterRBCH is on Facebook andTwitter.
