UK Hospitals K.O. The Necktie

It’s spreading… no not a new virus strain, but rather a new anti necktie dress code for doctors in the UK. Concern over hospital-borne infections has led UK hospitals to reevaluate the clothing worn by health care professionals treating patients.

Ties are rarely laundered but worn daily,” the Department of Health said in a statement. “They perform no beneficial function in patient care and have been shown to be colonized by pathogens.

This new

dress code would help prevent the spread of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, the deadly bacteria resistant to nearly every available antibiotic.

The Infection control societies in the U.S. however,

don’t recommend similar dress restrictions because there is no strong evidence that health care workers who don’t wear ties or jewelry reduce the risk of infection, said Dr. James Steinberg, an Emory University infectious disease specialist.

You would think that even if there is a slight chance an article of clothing like a necktie could carry bacteria that hospitals in the US would do something about it. I guess looking good is more important. Read the full article.
