National Infection Prevention Day On Thursday the Infection & Protection Control nurse team came in to school to work with the children regarding handwashing. In groups, the children used an ultra violet light box and a special cream to see bacteria. The nurses then explained how to wash their hands effectively using soap and a 30 second rule. When the children put their hands back in the box they could see the bacteria had gone.
