I've just been informed that I have to use the public changing room toilet in work to change my pump cannular instead of a sterile drugs room in residential care home where I work . Is this hygienic enough and what are my rights ? Help !!!!

Not really a reason but it was implied I would use a residents insulin
Their reasonable adjustments are ' the toilet is ok to use ' .
Their reasonable adjustments are ' the toilet is ok to use ' . There is no sharps box to use so I have to walk through the home with exposed needles . I work an 11 hour day so it's hard to make judgments on how much insulin I give , I've had to skip a few meals so I don't use up my cartilage which means I can't change it
If you are authorised to use said room as part of your job and have access how on earth does cannulating in there pose any more risk of theft that any other day you use said roomNot really a reason but it was implied I would use a residents insulin
I'd never go over the bosses head until you atleast address it with them first. I assure you bypassing them without even trying to resolve always ends worse either the senior management will ask you have you raised this with your manager first or you will break down your working relationship with your immediate line manager ( perspective of a senior manager )I would tell them to consider other options, if not, let them hear from the powers that be. Sometimes jumping up a few levels to higher management can help too. Go over your boss's head.
Walking around with exposed sharps is also a health concern.
