Updated literature review: PPE Aprons and Gowns

13 Jan 2022

The aprons and gowns literature review has been updated based on expert opinion.

The recommendation 'How should aprons/gowns be donned?' has been updated to say:

‘When worn as part of contact precautions, an apron (or gown if excessive splash or spray is anticipated) should be donned for direct care delivery and contact with the patient’s care environment.’
