Clinicians and administrative staff at Leicester General Hospital in the United Kingdom have created a catchy hand hygiene rap to the tune of Vanilla Ice's 1990s hit, "Ice Ice Baby," according to the Leicester Mercury.
The song lyrics highlight the World Health Organization's Five Moments for Hand Hygiene and how these critical hand-washing practices help prevention the transfer of infections like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium difficile.
The song was written by Vicky Cartwright, a head nurse for surgical services at Leicester's hospitals.
