Cytotoxic drugs spillage is well known to be hazardous and could be harmful to our staff and patients. Apart from organizing a spillage drill yearly, an educational spillage management video was to provide a more feasible and convenient learning method.

2. To provide a convenient method for delivery spillage management education to staff.
Methodology :

2. Design a spillage scenario which based on the spillage incidents happened worldwide.
3. Cast the video by spillage team members and AV department.

7. The video was uploaded to ward computer and share point and all staff could assess easily.
Result & Outcome :
All staff (Nurses and HCAs) are mandated to watch for revision 6 months after the yearly spillage drill on a compulsory basis. Staff always being welcomed to watch the video when there is doubt or necessary. Total 38 staff in 9B watched the video.
