Our Work

We believe good hygiene is an essential pillar for health and wellbeing. We help to bridge the gap in the understanding of enablers and barriers to building lasting hygiene habits and provide evidence-based recommendations on personal and home hygiene.

The GHC is committed to engaging and influencing the stakeholders and policies that have the biggest positive impact on changing hygiene behaviour and delivering healthier outcomes for all.

Professor Emerita Elizabeth Scott, PhD (Chair)

Professor Scott is an applied microbiologist with more than 40 years of experience in hygiene and infection control issues in home and community settings. She is committed to developing infection control strategies that can be deployed to protect against community-based infections and reduce antibiotic resistance. Professor Scott has served as a scientific advisor on responsible consumer hygiene practices for the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics and as an advisor to World Health Organization (WHO) Europe on housing and health. She is also Deputy Chairperson and a serving member of the scientific board of the International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene.
