Ayliffe Technique

The Ayliffe technique is a hand washing technique (a step-by-step approach), which is attributed to Graham Ayliffe et al., specifically for health care services.[1] The technique has been adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is similar to EN 1500.[2][3][4] Evidence suggests that it reduces microbial load on hands.[5]
