I guess certain body piercings that remain well hidden and pose no infection risk are fine! Most staff do wear wedding rings etc - but, really, in theory, they shouldn't because bacteria do collect under rings posing an infection issue - as it is well established within the health service that clean, infection free hands are the best way of preventing spread of infection!
People don't NEED to wear them at work! They can leave them in the car or in their bag - same applies to watches, earings etc.
