Infection Control
Overview
The BUG RUN helps reduce health care associated infections (HCAIs) such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile which remains a constant challenge within the NHS.
The BUG RUN is a unique educational aid produced by a Senior Specialist Infection Control Nurse at NHS Leeds for use in infection control training. The BUG Run effectively promotes awareness and reinforces not only the importance of correct hand hygiene but also the need to use standard precautions policy such as personal protective equipment (PPE) to help prevent healthcare associated infections (HCAIs).
The infection control educational aid comprises of a blackout tent and UV light source to visually demonstrate 'whole body contamination' illustrating how the hands, uniform and equipment are all potential sources of infection.
How the BUG RUN Works
Before an infection control training session, the BUG RUN is assembled. UV light sensitive powder is applied to the surface of training materials and literature that participants will come into contact with during the session.
The extent of UV powder exposure only becomes evident when participants enter into the BUG RUN under the UV light. Participants will see firsthand how hands and clothing can become contaminated with potential pathogens from contact with the environment, people and equipment.
