Course Overview
Infection prevention and control is essential for protecting the health and safety of patients, service users, staff, and the wider community.
Infections can spread rapidly in workplaces and care environments if appropriate precautions are not taken. Effective infection prevention measures help reduce the risk of illness, protect vulnerable individuals, and maintain safe working environments.
This course provides a clear introduction to the principles of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC). Learners will develop an understanding of how infections spread, how to prevent transmission, and the responsibilities individuals and organisations have in maintaining safe environments.
The course is based on UK best practice guidance from the NHS, UKHSA, and health and safety legislation.
