About this course
This qualification is designed for a wide range of learners who wish to gain an understanding in the prevention and control of infection within healthcare settings. The qualification provides you with the underpinning knowledge and understanding of the prevention and control of infections in healthcare settings and will support your role in the workplace.
Understanding the principles of infection prevention and control is essential when working within all healthcare settings Importance of personal hygiene and health ensures you remain healthy in the workplace and don’t either contribute to, or cause the spread of infection within your workplace.
We've updated our Prevention and Control of Infection Learning and Assessment Resources to include COVID-19.
We had a huge demand from Providers and Learners to include Coronavirus in our Level 2 Certificate in Prevention and Control of Infection - so we listened!
New guidelines state that providers of primary and community health services should ensure that measures are in place so that all settings are COVID-secure. Controlling the infection is a key part of this - particularly in settings with individuals who are high risk.
