Effective Handwashing

The Food Standards Agency in Scotland has developed a handwashing film, which demonstrates an effective way to wash hands and eliminate potentially harmful bacteria.  At any one time, there can be millions of germs on your hands, although these are far too small to be seen by the naked eye. Some of these are harmful to health and when spread to food can cause food poisoning.
 

They can, however, be eliminated with an effective hand washing technique. This film demonstrating this technique can be accessed via the link on the right.

Anxiety Disorder

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) online learning tool - Anxiety Disorders forms part of the implementation strategy for NICE guidance.  Developed by the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education, the tool supports the implementation of NICE quality standard 53, Anxiety Disorder.  Interactive activities will help you identify and manage generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and body dysmorphic disorder.

This free online tool supports some of the quality standard's key recommendations including improving the recognition and assessment of anxiety disorders, evidence based psychological interventions and choosing appropriate drug treatment.  The online learning tool is available from the NICE website (to access the website click on the link below):
