Florence Nightingale hand washing song

Florence Nightingale demonstrates how to wash hands effectively and uses a song to remember the different stages to ensure your hands are clean.

2020 is the UN Year of the Nurse and Midwife. Handwashing is essential practice to health professionals but should also be important to all of us if we want to stay healthy and prevent the spread of germs and diseases.

These two films show how to clean hands well using the NHS guidelines on the different steps and a song written by Kate Cunningham to remember them.

Film 1 shows why a quick rinse under the tap is not enough, followed by the song.
Film 2 is the short version with just the song.

Kate is the author of Vlad and the Florence Nightingale Adventure picture book and more information about the books, visits and events can be found on the Reading Riddle website
