How NHS uniforms & PPE keeps us safe on holiday

Holidays, we’re all pining after them. With most of us spending more time than ever before at home since March due to coronavirus, and with many of us furloughed or unable to work, we’re all desperate for a break to just kick-back and get away from it all.

Only in the past few weeks have discussions of staycations or Mediterranean breaks being possible again begun to emerge, but all the same social-distancing questions still remain.

How can we keep ourselves, others and our families safe with coronavirus infection prevention and control methods while still enjoying a holiday? 

Disposable PPE is the solution, and Alexandra is one of the best places online in the UK to buy it.

Alongside basic social distancing common sense and proper hand hygiene, one of the answers to preventing infection is through our clothing.

We should all take inspiration for what to wear from healthcare uniforms. The protective clothing that our amazing healthcare workers have been wearing during this pandemic has greatly reduced the spread of infectious diseases.

 If it’s managed to keep them protected on the front line, then it should help to keep us safer when vacationing. Therefore, disposable PPE is the best way option to minimise the risk of spreading the virus. 

How can we buy PPE online?

When travelling, wearing disposable PPE like the kinds listed below made by Alexandra, who are specialist suppliers of NHS uniforms and medical clothing, is exactly the kind of protection we need to keep ourselves and others safe.

As well as PPE, they also make the following clothing and accessories  for all clinical and non-clinical health care roles:
