I believe that alcohol is a very antiseptic, and can be taken internally. (http://www.wisegeek.com/why-is-alcohol-a-good-antiseptic.htm) I am going to hold a workshop how to master this technique at 5.00pm this afternoon in 'the rook and gaskill'. All welcome.

Dear Colleagues

As you know the WHO has announced that a flu pandemic is imminent.

Can I take this opportunity to remind everyone who uses YNiC that as a clinical facility we have to be especially vigilant with respect to hygiene.

Please use the antiseptic gel dispensers, to clean your hands, on entry and exit from the MRI and MEG corridors. This is both for protection of you and the participants.

thanks
