About this work
Description
Guarding against cross-infection of patients is the responsibility of all whose duties lie in or near hospital wards: not only nursing staff, but also domestic assistants, ward orderlies, maintenance staff and porters. This film gives examples of thoughtlessness, and indicates the correct procedures; it catches the characters in the act of making their 'false move', and then shows, step by step, how infection is spread.
