Lastly it looks at what is an infection. Signs of infection and infections that can be associated with healthcare settings including MRSA, C-Difficile and Norovirus.
This course is aimed at people working in health and social care settings and is a vital part of training for everyone in those environments.
There are a lot of courses in our health and social care suite that would make great follow ups to this course and if you are in the adult social care sector then they would all provide valuable additions to your knowledge. Specific topics that complement this directly are Safe Handling of Medicines and Sharps Awareness.
Training is not always the answer. A course covers awareness. Where the law asks for a competent person, a written risk assessment or a system you can evidence, training on its own will not close the gap. Tell us what you are trying to satisfy and we will say plainly whether this course does it.
