Program Description
This intermediate training program is designed for frontline healthcare professionals, nurses, care assistants, and doctors who require comprehensive knowledge of clinical hygiene protocols. The program equips staff with the competencies needed to protect patients, colleagues, and the public from infectious diseases in hospital and care environments.
The curriculum concentrates on Standard Infection Control Precautions (SICPs) and examines statutory responsibilities under current healthcare regulations. Core modules address the chain of infection, microbial transmission mechanisms, personal protective equipment (PPE), rigorous hand hygiene standards, decontamination procedures for single-use items, and safe waste and sharps disposal protocols.
Delivered completely online through the Enable learning management system, the module incorporates interactive scenarios, animations, and knowledge checks complying with WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards. Aligned with the Skills for Health Core Skills Training Framework, the training concludes with a multiple-choice assessment and awards a verifiable CPD certificate.
