Healthcare-associated infections are among the most preventable causes of patient harm. This course gives clinical staff a practical, up-to-date grounding in infection prevention and control, from the chain of infection to the daily habits that keep patients and colleagues safe.
Through short teaching blocks, demonstrations and case discussion, you will learn how to apply standard and transmission-based precautions with confidence and how to spot and close infection risks in your own workplace.
