Is iodine still the default in your scrub routine? New research in our latest #Bulletin highlights that some surgical staff may not be aware of current guidance around iodine-based scrubs for pregnant and breastfeeding surgeons. Read more: ow.ly/a4hV50W4QIP
A page from the Bulletin, showing a brown glass vial of liquid with a pipette. The title text reads: 'Should pregnant surgeons and surgical staff be using iodine-based scrub solutions? Insights from a staff survey' with the sub heading reading, 'Are surgical staff aware of the potential risks of iodine scrubs in pregnancy, or is vital information being overlooked?'
