Abstract

Protecting the skin of frontline NHS staff suddenly became a priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article includes two reflective accounts, one from a critical care sister and another from a tissue viability nurse consultant, both working in acute hospital settings. It details the challenges encountered as staff developed skin damage from wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) and the range of interventions employed to reduce this risk. The importance of learning from this experience and sharing data on a national level is highlighted.
