Best Practice?
Best Practice
Many hospitals still use disposable theatre caps. But the evidence suggests reusable caps are a safer alternative.
Tipping Point
Reaching a tipping point of change can be a long road in big bureaucracies like hospitals and leading the way can be hard.
Resistance
People naturally resist change, but when your name and role are on your cap as well, there are positive patient safety, colleague wellbeing and environmental outcomes
Individual hospitals may have their own policies, but if they’re stating that disposable caps are best practice, they should be challenged.
What’s best for our patients?
If we want the best environment for our patients, our colleagues and ourselves (and I’m guessing we do), it’s time to embrace change. Reusable theatre caps with name and role is a small part of the picture, but it is a simple way to make a difference.
