Hand wash fun for primary pupils

Digital health provider Medicspot has launched a competition to promote hand hygiene at home. Children are encouraged to complete the challenge by making a poster, a video, recording a song, or doing a science experiment.

The winning entry will win £500 for their school. Visit www.medicspot.co.uk/handwash for more details.

Dr Johnson D’souza, Medical Director at Medicspot, said: “It’s never been more important to practise proper handwashing. We designed this challenge for children to complete at home to help promote frequent hand washing and help prevent the spread of coronavirus.

“We’re excited to see the creativity from primary school pupils in Batley and Bristall and hope it inspires households throughout the local area to practise handwashing regularly.”
