“Doctors have been banned from wearing ties in an effort to contain the spread of superbug MRSA.
An NHS trust has told hospital staff, including senior consultants, that the wearing of ties and “other superfluous clothing” could result in disciplinary action.” Guardian
Hmm.
Sounds like something from “Carry On Nurse”.

My favourite bit of the Agile software development religious paraphenalia? – take a look (it is slightly relevant).
Also: Titter ye not!
and: What’s the bleeding time?
I love the way on these sort of things they say we ‘consulted with staff’ – implying that staff may have thought this was a good idea- rather than we consulted but did what we goign to do anyway.
These days you are lucky if you get to see a consultant, it’s usually one of his minions. Are they going to be superfluous clothing-less too?
And perhaps they should try putting soaps on the wards. The one my late mum was on when she contracted MRSA had no soap at all but some miraculously appeared as soon as the superbug did.
When our Tom was in hospital with a scald they carefully explained to me that he was going in an isolation room because infection was the main danger to him after shock.
The room was filthy. There was a sink with soap and I was there 24/7 but I never once saw any medical staff using it until I started insisting. I had to stand by the sink making sure they did, like an infants school teacher.
Making them take their ties off isn’t going to make a HUGE difference, is it? 😉
Soap based body paint. That is the answer. 🙂
