It's Patient Safety Week and this year the theme is all about practicing good hand hygiene to help keep the bugs away. The key to good hand hygiene is to wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds and dry them thoroughly, or use hand sanitiser before eating, after using the toilet, etc. Are you giving germs a hand?
We can all play a role in reducing infections by practicing good hand hygiene in the home, workplace and community.

Healthy events and fundraising for schools

There is good evidence to show that exposure to adult drinking in childhood increases the risk of hazardous drinking by teenagers. The Hawke’s Bay District Health Board is committed to leadership in reducing alcohol related harm in our community, and believes that alcohol and schools do not mix. We have developed a Healthy Events and Fundraising guide for schools, providing lots of creative ideas for fundraising and events that don’t involve alcohol. You can find out more about alcohol and schools here.
