Is the UK forbidding white coats?
The BBC has just reported that in the name of infection control, the government have suggested? indicated? dictated? that doctors will no longer wear white coats.

Apparently it is because long sleeves do not enable proper hand washing.
Presumably it is not possible to make white coats with short or 3/4 length sleeves.
