A foundation for care and workplace staff
Infection Control UK is a one-hour introduction for care workers, healthcare assistants and staff in wider workplace settings. The course follows how infections spread and introduces standard precautions, hand hygiene and personal protective equipment. Its later topics include waste disposal, environmental cleaning, outbreaks and the worker’s role in infection prevention.
The broad setting is the main distinction between this course and the national versions. Infection Control for England includes CQC-related curriculum topics.
