Hey! World Hand Hygiene Day is on 5 May 2024
World Hand Hygiene Day is a global initiative of the World Health Organisation (WHO). Held every year on 5 May 2024, World Hand Hygiene Day serves to raise awareness among health and aged care professionals about how good hand hygiene can help to prevent the spread of infection and save lives.
There are good reasons why healthcare consumers should also jump on board and support World Hand Hygiene Day.
You can be a great support to your healthcare team, your loved ones and yourself by making a habit of practicing good hand hygiene.
Did you know:
- Just by touching, your fingers can become a cesspool of contaminants.
- If you share your keyboard with other people, you could be sharing bugs like E.coli, S. Aureus or streptococcus that can make you very, very ill.
- The average desktop is roughly home to 400 times more bacteria than your average toilet seat.
- Bacteria and viruses that cause respiratory illnesses can live for up to 24 hours on any shared surface eg desk tops, lap tops, ipads, mobile phones, door knobs, scissors and even the can opener.
At Secure My Treasures we know that from time to time you will upload and secure large amounts of information in your Chests. We encourage all our clients to stay safe. Please wash your hands!
Not sure if your handwashing technique stacks up. Check out these 5 easy tips that appear in the image above.

Our Program Partner, Acquaint offers premium home care
I caught up with Fiona Somerville, Managing Director of bespoke home care provider, Acquaint. I was bowled over Fiona’s warmth and amazing passion for delivering premium care for older people at home. It comes no surprise that Acquaint’s service is all about going above and beyond for every client. With its tailored services and absolute discretion, Acquaint is clearly a cut above the rest.
During our discussion, we mulled over the bigger picture around aged, home and community care. We thought about how people like to be independent and stay in their own homes as long as possible. We also thought about how ageing sometimes sneaks up on us. We could easily see the synergy between the services provided by Acquaint and Secure My Treasures
Secure My Treasures is your bank grade secure digital information safe. As a secure store for vital information, it’s an ideal way to keep track of important information as we age and before it’s urgently need. That way there is no panic about where vital information is when we are starting to lose our memory or are on the verge of going to residential care. You can even use it to keep track of your home care.

Who knows where to find your loved one’s will?
Without a doubt, when a loved one passes away, questions will be asked about the whereabouts of their. A better question is, “Who actually knows where’s the will?” Wills can hide many places beyond a will safe, whether online or bolted into cement. Still, many wills go missing and still grieving friends and relatives can remain bereft about how to find them. And searching for a missing can be an exhausting, expensive, and, occasionally non-yielding undertaking.
In this video we encourage you to not only prepare yourself for the inevitable to prepare your loved ones.

New Chest – Accountant Access in an Emergency
How often do clients arrive at an appointment with their accountant and suddenly realise that they have left the information most needed at home. How frustrating.
