  • Captain Tom's Bespoke Regimental Blazer

    Captain Tom's Bespoke Regimental Blazer

    Captain Tom’s Bespoke Regimental Blazer Captain Tom Moore’s local tailors, Souster & Hicks wanted to gift the hero with new bespoke regimental blazer and trousers, to coincide with his 100th birthday celebrations, but also as a fitting tribute for the war veteran’s VE day celebrations. The heroic war veteran raised over £32 million for the NHS, provided a beacon of hope for the world at such a dark time and is now a Guinness World record holder for the oldest person to have a number one single. Souster & Hicks, a family tailoring business in the beautiful village of Woburn in Bedfordshire is just down the road from Captain Tom’s residency of Marston Moretaine. The family is made up of husband and wife duo, Geoff and Laura Souster, and their two sons Wes and Scott, and Daughter-in-law Natalie. They have well over 100 years of experience between them and tailor to the same high standards as the world-renowned Savile Row tailors. The outfit was made by their team of craft tailors, and London based Benson & Clegg helping with the badge and having the buttons specially hand engraved with Captain Tom’s regiment, all pulling together to get this made in time. Captain Tom Moore commented: “It’s a beautiful bespoke blazer, and one that I will wear with pride for the rest of my days. The craftsmanship and the finer details that have been put into the blazer is astonishing for just 10 days’ work. I was concerned that it would be hard for them to get my measurements and fit me, due to the social distancing regulations, but they done fantastically, and it fits me like a glove.

    2019 Professional Appearance and Dress Code.Pdf

    Professional Appearance Team members should present a professional image in their appearance and actions in order to Own the Moment and Champion Excellence. Policy This policy is to set a minimum guideline for team members in regard to appearance. Our ability to Champion Excellence and inspire trust from our patients and families is dependent on presenting a professional image in our appearance and in our actions. Communication professionals say people form an impression of someone within seven seconds of their first meeting. If our team members look and act professionally, patients and families have greater confidence in our ability. We want our team members to not only do their best, but to also look their best as they continue to Own the Moment and mirror the professional image of our organization. Some of the guidelines (such as footwear) reflect safety and health issues for our team as well as patients, while others work towards Fostering Unity. An important goal of this policy is consistency. When everyone interprets the policy in the same manner, the result is consistent and fair administration. Departmental dress codes which exceed hospital standards must be followed. The Professional Appearance policy must be followed whenever at work and on the clock, including trainings and professional development. Any medical, religious or other exceptions to the “Professional Appearance” policy must be approved by Human Resources. Documentation to support reasons may be required. Permanent medical exceptions must be updated annually. Procedures General Guidelines Your attire should always project a well-groomed, professional appearance. If you have a question or concern about whether something is appropriate to wear, the best rule is not to wear it, or discuss it with your manager or supervisor before coming into work.

    Interim Guidance for Healthcare Personnel Home Washing Personal Uniform/Scrub Apparel During the COVID-19 Pandemic

    Interim Guidance for Healthcare Personnel Home Washing Personal Uniform/Scrub Apparel During the COVID-19 Pandemic While the commercial laundry process following CDC guidelines has been tested and proven to provide clean, safe textiles for patients within the hospital environment, the home laundry process deals with myriad differences in fabrics, detergents, wash temperatures, and more. Available research shows that the virus only lives on fabrics for a short period of time, but, out of an abundance of caution, these instructions are being given to best ensure the home wash process is effective for washing personal apparel at home after being in a setting possibly exposing the wearer to COVID-19, and to further ensure the healthcare personnel family’s safety. Please Note: The guidance below is NOT to be used for laundering any textile provided by your healthcare facility to serve as personal protective equipment (PPE). PPE is specialized clothing or equipment worn by an employee for protection against a hazard. General work clothes, e.g., uniforms, pants, shirts, or blouses, not intended to function as protection against a hazard are not considered to be PPE. If the answer to either of the questions below is yes, that item is likely considered PPE. If you are still not sure, please verify with your employer before taking it home. PPE MUST BE LAUNDERED BY THE EMPLOYER AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN FROM THE FACILITY. 1. Is the garment typically required to be removed prior to leaving the work area? 29CFR1910.1030(d)(3)(vii) 2. Does the garment meet the OSHA definition of PPE? Personal protective equipment will be considered “appropriate” only if it does not permit blood or other potentially infectious materials to pass through to or reach the employee's work clothes, street clothes, undergarments, skin, eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes under normal conditions of use and for the duration of time which the protective equipment will be used.
