Hygiene at UKBB

The Infection Prevention Team at UKBB deals with the prevention and control of infections in hospitals. Appropriate measures contribute directly to patient safety.

Help us to implement the recommended hygiene measures and thus protect your child and our patients in the best possible way.

Wash your hands

Pathogens are often transmitted via the hands. Thorough hand hygiene is therefore particularly important when you are in hospital. Wash your hands with soap and water if you:

enter a patient room.
after changing nappies or accompanying them to the toilet.
before preparing food.
after using the toilet.
before the meal.
if your hands are visibly soiled.

Hygienic measures

The patient bed and the entire patient room are cleaned daily. Please put your personal belongings to one side so that this work can be carried out thoroughly.
We ask you to wipe the changing table with a damp disinfectant wipe after use.

Hand disinfection

In some cases, it is necessary for you to additionally disinfect your hands. Our staff will instruct you on how to disinfect your hands correctly.

Hand disinfection is required in the following situations:

before touching your child or other patients.
before you leave the patient's room.

Visitors with symptoms of illness

If you, as the person accompanying your child, feel ill and/or have symptoms such as a cough, cold or fever, please inform our nursing staff immediately.
Sick siblings and other visitors please stay at home
