Five moments for hand hygiene
The World Health Organization (WHO) have developed the 'Five Moments' for hand hygiene, defining the key points for healthcare workers to clean their hands. The WHO and the NPSA have developed some posters and resources to help illustrate these moments for both acute and community care settings.
