Should All Medical Staff be made to wear unforms/shoes only within the hospital to reduce risk of infection?

I recently spent some time in an Italian Hospital and in a UK National Health and a private hospital. I noticed in Italy that the cleaning was far superior to the UK, but also that all doctors and nurses only wore hospital issue uniforms - tunics and trouses and special shoes inside the hospital at all times. The nurses never wore them outside nor did the doctors visit in their suits and outdoor shoes. Should not such steps be taken here in the UK?

    I think this is a brilliant (great) Idea for all Medical Staff including those in the U.S.
