My hands are so dry, red and very sore now. I know it is because of the hand wash stuff we have to use on the ward, and the number of times per shift you need to use it when washing your hands, and there is no way round that obviously.

Does anyone else suffer in the same way, and if so, what helps?

I have been using hand cream, but no sooner have you applied it, then you are washing it off again lol.
