Infection prevention and control measures aim to ensure the protection of those who might be vulnerable to acquiring an infection. This includes, and is not limited to anyone working in health care settings, working closely to people or animals or even with waste produced by them.
Every year at least 300,000 people develop a Health Care Associated Infection. This has a huge impact on the patient, the staff and the institution it occurs in. Whereas if there is good infection prevention and control, patients will have better health and more independence.
This course will start by defining infection prevention, and explaining the impact of good and bad infection control measures. It then goes into detail about the legislation that applies to infection control, the different types of micro-organisms, how bacteria are transmitted, the chain of infection, and the precautions you have to take to break the chain of infection.

On successful completion of the course you will obtain a certificate. Your certificate will be available for download as soon as you pass your course.
