I have just started with the nhs, having gone over from private practice.

I saw a couple of instrument packs that has been opened by a footcare assistant that were sitting on the side. I asked her why they were there and she said she had opened them by accident and they would be used at a later date by another practitioner. I was quite surprised by this and said i would just put them in the dirty box as they were no longer sterile.
I have since had a row from the manager saying that this is standard and even though they were no longer sterile they were clinically clean and that it cost too much and this was standard practice with in the dept.
I am quite confused by this because if that is the case, then what is the point in using sterile packs and how can 'clinically clean' let you know how clean something actually is?
any advice on this would be great as I am quite confused:confused:
