Ok so I have seen many people on fb and friends sewing gowns / hats / scrubs for the NHS out of sheets, old curtains etc.
Whilst these look so clever and I am super impressed by the sewing skills are nurses actually going to be wearing these? I thought all PPE had to be approved, waterproof etc to be used? As nice as these look and extremely well intentioned are most of these going to end up in a pile and thrown away?
I have a relation who is a senior nurse. She says in her hospital they wouldn’t wear these. PPE is only worn once and thrown anyway but needs to be approved before used i.e approved supplier?
Just can’t believe that hats and gowns made from old curtains would be used in a professional capacity?
