I have been registered with this surgery from its birth and migration. My experience has alwats be pleasant and welcoming. However, l don't think it's hygienic for the nurse to do an injection without wearing gloves. Her fingers and hand toucged the door handle, computer keyboard, making up the injection and then inserting the fluid into my arm.
All the nurses where l work wear gloves it's standard. If they could get a pair of gloves on that would be great!

Response from Paddington Green Health Centre
Dear patient, Thank you for your feedback. Whilst we are always happy to reflect and review our practice it may be helpful here to note the following advice from the Royal College of Nursing: Wearing gloves: The WHO guidance advises that gloves should not be worn for routine intradermal, subcutaneous or intramuscular injections providing the health worker’s skin is intact as gloves do not provide protection against needle stick injury. Best wishes, PGHC
