Welcome to a seminar on the first ever consensus on surgical gloving best practice.
During 2023 an international panel of 13 surgical experts from a range of specialties and professions undertook an extensive systematic review of current evidence on surgical gloving practice. The outcome of their work was a series of recommendations to improve the safety, protection and experience of healthcare professionals and their patients.
We would like to invite you to learn more about this unique and important consensus work first-hand, from the experts involved. Our hope is that you will share the results with your peers and that you and your colleagues may be inspired to change your gloving practice as a result.
