Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust have decided not to ban Gideon Bibles for infection control reasons
Hey some good news emanating from an NHS trust for once. Previous post can be found here.
Bibles in bedside areas could pose a risk of cross-infection if not cleaned properly, according to research studied by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
But the trust decided against banning the book in bedside lockers, opting instead to keep copies in holders and protective plastic covers that can be easily cleaned after each patient has used them.
But on wards for patients with virulent infections, single use Bibles will be introduced.
