Reducing Risk. Preventing Infection. Protecting Lives.
Infection prevention and control is essential to keeping people safe in health and social care settings. Poor infection control can lead to serious illness, outbreaks, service disruption and regulatory action. Our Infection Prevention and Control in Health and Social Care course equips care staff with the knowledge, awareness and practical understanding needed to prevent the spread of infection and maintain safe, hygienic care environments. This training helps staff protect service users, colleagues and themselves, while supporting organisations to meet legal and regulatory requirements.
