Muslim doctors and nurses are to be allowed to opt out of strict hygiene rules introduced by the NHS to restrict the spread of hospital superbugs.
Female staff who follow the Islamic faith will be allowed to cover their arms to preserve their modesty despite earlier guidance that all staff should be "bare below the elbow".
The Department of Health has also relaxed rules prohibiting jewellery ...
The rules were drawn up to reduce the number of patients who were falling ill, and even dying, from superbugs such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile.

“The rules were drawn up to reduce the number of patients who were falling ill, and even dying, from superbugs such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile”
And this is going to reduce the number of sick and dying patients, how?
bump
Sheesh.
Exempting muslims from hygeine rules.
Coming to America.
They’re already exempt from ObamaCare.
Well, let the muslim medical staff exist only in muslim hospitals treating muslim patients....preferably both leave the UK and allow the normal people to take care of each other. This is madness; and what happens if a non-muslim patient contracts a superbug and it kills them as a result of this gross negligence (because that is what it is)? Can you sue the hospital and muslim dirtbag? Or cut his/her head off for murdering your infidel family member? What the he$$ is going on? And us stupid Americans don’t think they’ll pull this $hit here, if given half the chance? Western world, wake up before it’s too late; you have your children and grandchildren to worry about......
Muslims refuse to use alcohol-based hand gels over religious beliefs
PCism Kills.
I don’t think they are exempt - only Amish is my understanding. I know there are emails going around that they are, but I haven’t found and no one will give a source for that. Do you have one?
mussie scum alert!
What’s a few deaths compared to offending muzzies?
As a patient...you have this Muslim doctor walk into the room and your chances of dying increase by twenty percent...because the guy isn’t practicing standard hygiene control? I don’t see how any rational medical organization would even think of increasing the odds of death.
They're frightened and gutless.
At the job interview, ask them "Do you have any problem with the use of alcohol hand cleaners?" and "Do you have any problem with compliance with the requirements against wearing of jewelry and having your lower arm exposed at all times?" Give them a written list of safety requirements, and have them sign off on their acceptance. Document any oral answers in writing. If they object to these safety requirements, they're not hired on that basis. If they don't, and later make a fuss, fire them on the spot for lying during the job interview. Simple.
This is simply called Jihad by Medicine - if you kill some infidels in the process, Allah will be happy. This gov’t. run health service bends the rules and break the rules to pander to the sharia docs rather than protect the patients. Lousy medicine in their home countries, but Criminal in a so-called civilized one.
Another reason for me to avoid middle eastern doctors.
The word “PIGS” comes to mind!
Just all those headlines I’ve seen posted here and on blogs. I have long since stopped seeing any news in the MSM as actual news.
