No More Neckties … in The UK

Maybe fishing vests will replace white coats to make up for the missing pockets!

To blame a poor defenseless tie for shameful germ laden personal behavior is just not fair!

I protest!

I'll take it to the courts!

I'll take it .... to the cleaners?!?

LOL .. this is really funny, but I share the concern over hygiene. Perhaps the answer is to buy a new tie for each day?

Neckties

This is not just true in the UK. If you are a doctor and deal with patients on a daily basis, and still want to wear a tie, then wear a tie made from microfiber of polyester.

First of all they don't take on germs and odors as easily as a silk tie, and the second reasons is that they are more carefree and can be treated with an disinfecting spray, that would damage a silk tie.

Thanks for posting!

one recommendation I can fully support is the ban on ties. According to the report, it is “poor practice to wear neck-ties (other than bow-ties) in any care activity which involves patient contact”.
