For the past couple of weeks, VCH News has been asking you what you think of new professional image guidelines at VCH. Close to 30 of you responded with your thoughts and opinions, and out of that group, we drew a winner for a coveted VCH sports bag. That winner is Thomas Urquhart who said:

“I have not heard anything about this at my work site either.

I am also wondering if the clothing options for purchase will include VCH vests. I know that many nurses wear them as a way to stay warm, and they are able to remove them when delivering patient care. Also, they do not pose infection control issues as they are sleeveless and do not interfere with hand washing (like a sweater or hoodie would).”

Congratulations to Thomas and thanks to all who participated!
