The most popular items healthcare workers request are often related to germ protection. An assortment of PPE products such as face masks, wipes, soaps, gloves, hand sanitizer, zinc sulfate tablets, and disposable coverings can be easily included in any gift bag or basket. These are items everyone can use, but especially when in close contact with patients as well as airborne pathogens and bodily fluids. One tip is to include both cloth and disposable face coverings since both are used for different purposes by the medical professionals. Face shields are also helpful for those who either want an extra layer of protection or would like to reduce the risk of pathogen entry into the eye or facial area in general.
Healing Basket
With so many hand washings throughout the day, a blend of scented and unscented soothing lotions and a manicure gift card from a nearby spa would brighten any healthcare professional's day! Why a blend of lotions? Scented hygiene products may trigger allergic reactions in patients, yet might help your favorite medical team member enjoy some aromatherapy at the end of a long shift. Unscented hygiene products that are recommended for clinic use such as the ME MediChoice® Daily Moisturizing Lotion provide cooling comfort to dry skin resulting from repeated scrubbing and temperature changes.
Looking for something comforting to give someone working a 12-hour shift? For tired legs and feet caused by standing on hard floors during an extended shift, add some compression socks, a TENS unit or a hot and cold pack system that will offer targeted muscle relief. After all that time spent rushing around with tense muscles, a basket with these items will help your gift recipient feel truly pampered!
Medical Student Basket
Aspiring physicians and nurses are working hard to learn how best to help their patients and team. But, while accruing student loans, a basket filled with one or more of these quality monitoring and diagnostic devices such as a stethoscope, EKG equipment, pulse oximeter, blood pressure machine, neural reflex hammer, ophthalmoscope, light pen, volumetric exerciser, and/or, of course, a no-touch infrared thermometer would provide a large and much-appreciated benefit to anyone in the medical field of study. Don't forget the lab coat for the finishing touch!
Medical Clinic Safety Basket
Once doctors are ready to begin setting up their own clinics, it's time to stock the bathrooms and beds with fall prevention items! The World Health Organization states falls account for 37.3 million injuries requiring medical attention each year and 646,000 deaths globally. The good news is many of these slips can be avoided with some simple bed and bath upgrades any doctor with a new office to renovate would be excited to receive. Bathroom grip bars, shower chairs, handheld showerheads, bed railings, walkers, and no-slip socks are easy and cost-effective additions that can go a long way in preventing such accidents from occurring during an outpatient visit.
Gift Card Basket
For raffles, collective gift-giving, employee appreciation days, donations, contest winners, or those simply searching for ways to ensure your healthcare worker gets everything on his or her wishlist, a gift card basket is always a big hit! Try ordering a medical supply store gift card or credit like one from Medical Supply Group. It's like being given a free shopping trip at your favorite high-end department store for medical professionals and patients alike.
