Over the Christmas period hospitals actually see an increase in patients, injuries and unfortunately fatalities. System Hygiene wants all hospitals and places of care to be fully prepared this Christmas period by stocking up on some vital patient care products which you can buy directly from us.
We have all heard of the all time Christmas classics but did you know that it is these well known songs which actually relate to some pretty frosty facts over the Christmas period?
“So here it is Merry Christmas everybody’s having fun”
Is everyone in reality having fun though? With 2080 admissions into hospital resulting of a persona falling because they have been carried or supported by another person and then been dropped occurred last year. A total of 46,460 admissions were due to a person falling from something on the same level and as funny as this sounds one of the most common in this category were actually people falling off a toilet! The fun doesn’t stop their though a further 18,610 people were admitted due to striking themselves against an object such as walking into a wall!
Ouch! That is a whole load of medicine pots containing a number of painkillers and people waking up feeling pretty sore in the morning! Make sure that as a hospital or patient care centre you are well stocked up.
“When Santa got stuck up the chimney”
A massive 6,420 admissions into hospital last year were because of people falling from a ladder! Maybe leave sliding down the chimney to Santa after all he does land his sleigh on the roof so he doesn’t require any ladders and thus he cannot fall from them!
Ouch! Falling from this height will almost certainly make someone feel sick but not to worry just be fully prepared and have a number of general purpose bowls at the ready!
“Were walking in the air”
Unless you are the snowman of course from the ever so popular film then a large number of patients each year around the Christmas period are admitted following a nasty fall from slipping on ice or snow in total 18,570! Obviously there was no rock salt applied which could have prevented this. Although falling on the ice and snow people more often than not want to have a lie down.
The sheer numbers of patients admitted over the festive period means that many patient care centres and hospitals are seeing that many patients at such a fast pace they require bed protectors to ensure every patient is treat in a sterile environment. System Hygiene can provide these at a fantastic price; plus if you’re requiring an excessively large volume why not ring up a member of our sales team and we will see what we can do for you.
