Infection Control Training – Safe Practice in Care Environments

£22.50

Infection prevention and control is a vital part of safe, effective care. This infection control training course is designed for staff working in care environments who need to understand why infection control measures are essential and how to apply them in daily practice.

Learners will explore the definition of infection control, how infections spread through the chain of infection, and the different types of germs that cause illness. The course also examines Health Care Associated Infections (HCAIs), the importance of prevention, and the responsibilities of staff in maintaining a clean and safe workplace.

In addition, participants will learn how to wash hands effectively, use personal protective equipment (PPE), and follow workplace policies and legislation. The training also highlights the role of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in monitoring infection control standards.

By the end of this infection control training, learners will be able to apply practical measures that reduce risks, protect service users, and ensure compliance with regulations.
