Welcome to Needlestickforum.net, a brand new website hosted by the Safer Needles Network, and aimed at those concerned with reducing needlestick injuries. |
|
Needlestick accidents occur when healthcare workers jab themselves or a colleague with a needle, or other sharp medical device, which is contaminated with potentially infected blood. |
|
Second only to back-injuries as a cause of occupational injury amongst NHS workers, an ongoing RCN surveillance project suggests that as many as 100,000 needlestick accidents occur in the UK every year. |
