Nurses Uniforms In Wales Withdrawn After Rash Outbreak
A range of nurse’s uniforms were introduced across Wales to help patients and staff differentiate between the different types of nurses. The move was a bid to add consistency to the uniforms worn in different hospitals across Wales. Staff nurses are assigned with hospital blue uniforms and staff midwives are dressed in postman blue. Healthcare support workers uniforms are green and aqua green will denote a nursery nurse. Rosemary Kennedy, Wales’ chief nursing officer, said: “It is essential that patients have confidence in the nursing profession. The national uniforms will help to remove any confusion over who is in charge.”
