Workshop basics of hand disinfection

Hochschulnetzwerk / HAW workshop

Effective hand hygiene is an undisputed and essential part of infection prevention in the medical field. In production processes, personal hygiene is of great importance and hand hygiene is particularly important in critical production processes such as sterile production under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice).This workshop on the basics of hand disinfection focuses in particular on the importance of hands as a vector in the transmission of infectious agents or contamination in production processes. Various efficacy spectra (e.g. bactericidal, levurocidal, limited virucidal, virucidal, etc.) of hand disinfectants against relevant microorganisms and viral pathogens will be presented. The effectiveness of hand washing and hand disinfection as well as the various applications of hand hygiene in practice will be discussed.The aim of this workshop is to give a brief insight into the essential aspects of effective hand hygiene and to work out the historical discovery of hand hygiene in a short case study in small groups.
