Washing your hands properly is one of the most important things you can do to help prevent and control the spread of many illnesses. Good hand hygiene will reduce the risk of things like flu, COVID-19, food poisoning, and healthcare-associated infections being passed from person to person.

The UPEI Health and Wellness Centre is conducting hand hygiene audits on March 8, 9, and 10. We are asking any patients who visit us on these days to provide us direct observational feedback on our hand hygiene. This helps us to identify gaps or moments where we may not be doing as well as we should so that we can make improvements.  

If you have feedback on our hand hygiene or anything else at the UPEI Health and Wellness Centre, please do not hesitate to contact us at healthcentre@upei.ca or visit our website: https://www.upei.ca/health-centre, and click on "We'd love to hear from you" in the right-hand menu or complete a compliments/complaints card located in the waiting room.
