PPE should be used correctly and is only effective when combined with:

• cleaning your hands regularly and appropriately for at least 20 seconds

• respiratory hygiene (‘catch it, bin it, kill it’) and avoiding touching your face with your hands

• following standard infection prevention and control precautions

• correct technique for putting on and taking off PPE

• safe disposal of used PPE

Carers wear aprons and gloves for all personal care provisions.

Masks are worn to all calls and changed after each one.
