Talking about uniforms I hear there is a trial about to start in some UK hospitals where the staff are to be given uniforms woven with silver. Seemingly bacteria including MRSA and C dificile cant survive on silver, so it will be interesting to see if this makes a difference. Maybe this silver lining should also be incorporated into things like BP cuffs, SpO2 probes, ECG cables ect. The link below gives some other info on this silver lining.
