A COMPETITION to promote hand hygiene at home, challenging primary school pupils across Ealing to put their creative skills to the test, has been launched.

Medicspot, the digital health provider, extended their hand-washing competition to all pupils aged 5–11 in the borough,.

Ealing children are encouraged to complete the challenge while at home by making a poster, filming a video, recording a song, doing a science experiment or writing a poem, to name a few options.

They should include some key points, including washing hands for at least 20 seconds and frequently.

The winning entry will win £500 for his or her primary school to spend on supplies, and 10 runner-ups will be selected to win £100 for their school.

Dr Johnson D’souza, Medical Director at Medicspot, said: “We’re excited to see the creativity from primary school pupils in Ealing.”

Pupils have until the end of June to submit their entries. Details on https://www.medicspot.co.uk/handwash
