Abstract
Health professionals can often underestimate the importance of hand hygiene compliance in practice due to the amount of published evidence available. Although a lot of effort has been put into improving hand hygiene, unmistakably more work is required as the literature is still suggesting that health professionals are not complying with hand hygiene guidelines. This lack of compliance is in spite of hand hygiene being the single most effective means of reducing hospital-acquired infections.
