Muhammad Azim Kamaruzaman from the Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre @IIUM (SASMEC @IIUM).<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif\">With 30 enthusiastic participants from the Kulliyyah of Nursing, the event served as a crucial platform to address the critical issue of needle prick injuries. These incidents pose significant risks to healthcare workers, particularly nursing students who frequently handle sharp objects during clinical attachments and throughout their careers.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif\">During the programme, the participants gained invaluable insights into the causes and consequences of needle prick injuries, as well as practical strategies to mitigate such risks effectively. Sr. Zuwainah Hamzah and Br. Muhammad Azim Kamaruzaman provided expert guidance on proper handling techniques, safe disposal methods, and the importance of maintaining vigilance in high-risk environments.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif\">Speaking about the significance of the programme, Dr. Rusila Ruslan who represent the organiser emphasized its role in fostering a culture of safety and accountability among nursing students. By raising awareness and imparting crucial skills, the initiative aims to empower future nurses to prioritize their well-being while delivering quality care to patients.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif\">As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, initiatives like the &#8220;Needle Prick Awareness Programme&#8221; highlighted the importance of proactive measures in safeguarding the welfare of healthcare professionals. Through education, collaboration, and innovation, stakeholders can collectively strive towards a safer and healthier work environment for all.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center\"><span
