Getting ready for 5 May 2013!
Celebrations for 5 May 2013 aim to be as inclusive of everyone as possible! This time, the day actually falls on a Sunday, a rest day for most, but not for all. Activities in support of 5 May have always been promoted as 'on or around 5 May' to ensure all health-care workers have the opportunity to take part in important hand hygiene awareness-raising activities. Therefore, we encourage those working on Saturday and Sunday, to celebrate hand hygiene promotion and improvement on 4 and 5 May 2013. Celebrations in other parts of the world where these are not regular working days will take place on 6 and 7 May 2013.Our call to action for you in 2013 is two-fold:[*]Continue to focus on hand hygiene monitoring and feedback!
Evaluation and repeated monitoring of a range of indicators reflecting hand hygiene infrastructures and practices, as well as health-care workers’ and senior managers’ knowledge and perception of the problem of health care-associated infection and the importance of hand hygiene at the health-care facility, is a vital component of any successful hand hygiene campaign.

Identify the best way to gather patient participation in hand hygiene promotion and improvement, according to your local culture and facility’s approach.
