15th October 2026 is Global Handwashing Day !

This Global Handwashing Day, we are highlighting the importance of proper hand hygiene in helping to prevent the spread of germs and support healthier environments.

Handwashing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce the risk of infection, whether in healthcare settings, workplaces, schools, or public spaces. By promoting good hand hygiene practices, organisations can help protect staff, visitors, and the wider community.

Why Hand Hygiene Matters
✅ Helps reduce the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses
✅ Supports infection prevention and control initiatives
✅ Promotes healthier and safer environments
✅ Encourages confidence among staff, patients, and visitors

Keep your hands clean with our Clinell products and stay safe this Winter!

This week celebrates 'World Incontinence Week' from the 15th June to 21st June 2026

When our founder, Barrie Mayes, first started building Dorset Nursing Supplies in 1985, he began by providing incontinence pads to local care homes across Bournemouth and Poole, and it became the foundation of the business.

Dorset Nursing Supplies has now grown into a family owned and run business providing a vast range of medical equipment and engineering services across the
care industry.

We were absolutely delighted to receive this from the medical care team at Chama District Hospital in Zambia. Our incredible director Jeremy arranged for nearly 4,500 hospital uniforms to be donated to the trust, supporting many members of staff.

Chama District Hospital is a major healthcare facility located in the Chama District of Muchinga Province, Zambia. It serves as a vital referral and medical centre for the region's rural and expansive catchment area.

We are so pleased to see they were safely received, and hope they offer years of service. 🧑‍⚕️👨‍⚕️
