I’m concerned by the number of healthcare workers who wear their uniforms on public transport, and must pick up loads of germs!
The solution to that is scrubs.
There often arent adequate changing/showering facilities at hospitals any more. And the only uniforms that hospitals launder now are scrubs.
That said, public transport isnt any "dirtier" than the hospital canteen/cafes, which are often public places. So hospitals will usually tolerate staff going on buses from home to work in uniform, but not, say, going for a brouse around tesco.
Also bear in mind that public transport operators don't adequately consult with hospital staff, even though they are one of their largest customer groups. So for example, the first bus of the morning which early staff at my nearest hospital need to use gets them there a few minutes AFTER the first shift starts. So no time to change, if you are there gor an early appointment you will sed them all running in, and they have petitioned the bus operator about it with no luck.
Anger management!!! Help needed.
