Infection Control

Max Persons: 15
Duration: 4 hours

Controlling the spread of infection is vital in a wide variety of workplaces, including hospitals, care homes, schools and nurseries, in fact, anywhere people live and work together. This qualification raises employees’ awareness of minimising the risk of infection.

It is essential that employees are aware of the hazards and controls associated with the spread of infection at work. This is not only important to ensure they themselves are protected, but also to reduce the risk to others around them.

One of the higher risk environments is healthcare. Every year a significant number of people are made ill or die as a direct result of the spread of infections. Healthcare providers have both a legal and moral obligation to make certain that they are not contributing to these statistics by ensuring their staff are effectively trained and ideally hold a relevant qualification.

Course Summary:

This course has been designed to help organisations to comply with requirements in this subject area. It gives individuals an improved understanding of the causes of infections, the conditions in which they thrive and the ways they are spread. It also covers suitable methods of cleaning and waste disposal to help stop infection spreading, as well as information on personal protective equipment that can be used.

Just had feedback from my guys who attended the First Aid Course yesterday. I have never received such good feedback from any course I have sent the guys on. They were all very impressed with the whole days course and the trainers were said to be "fantastic". This morning I was waiting for the moans and groans but it was totally the opposite and sang your praises to the highest level! A particular mention was for Laura who was apparently VERY VERY good and very impressed with the way she delivered the course. So from me, thank you for delivering what was said to be a very enjoyable and very informative course!

I found this course engaging. The trainer was professional, but approachable and friendly allowing me to feel comfortable to ask questions and be involved. The use of videos helped to see real situations - GREAT IDEA !!

Anneke, Anaphylaxis and CPR Course

Completed a 2 day Paediatric First Aid course today. Glenn was a brilliant trainer and despite the serious nature of the course we still had the odd giggle. I now feel confident enough to deal with an emergency situation however I hope I never have to use my newly learnt skills! Thank you Glenn (and of course Bob)
