Program Description
The Online Infection Prevention and Control Level 1 Course delivers fundamental education on minimizing infection risks in healthcare environments. Designed for non-clinical personnel such as receptionists, porters, and administrative staff, the curriculum establishes essential competencies to safeguard patients, colleagues, and workers from pathogen transmission.
The syllabus aligns with the Skills for Health Core Skills Training Framework, addressing core standard precautions across healthcare facilities. Core topics include rigorous hand hygiene methods, proper selection and use of personal protective equipment, waste management procedures, sharps safety, spillage handling, and decontamination protocols for environments and equipment.
Instruction follows an interactive digital format featuring scenario-based exercises, contextualized animations, and WCAG 2.2 accessible multimedia. Learners can assess their existing knowledge via an initial pre-test or progress directly through bite-sized modules, concluding with a multiple-choice assessment that awards an official CPD certificate upon achieving an eighty percent passing mark.
