From the NHS website I have found the correct way to wash hands properly

of soap into cupped hands.Rub hands palm to palm.Right palm over the back of the other hand with interlaced

fingers and vice versa.to palm with fingers interlaced.Back of fingers to opposing palms with fingers

interlocked.Rotational rubbing of left thumb clasped in right palm and vice versa.Rotational rubbing, backwards

From this I have found out the correct way to wash my hands as to use in the video I will be making. For all this information I shall break it down and use it in my video as more of a user friendly way to get the information across. This is directly from the NHS website so I know that this information is very useful and the NHS is the client for this project so there information will be needed for the video.

This is also a poster from the NHS website that shows the way to wash your hands in the correct

manner, This will not be used in my poster but it is good for research as it explains the best way to

wash your hands in a more simpler form and I shall use this information and make it more simple

and use it in my video.
