Infection Control Training Overview

This Infection Control Training 1/2 day blended learning course allows participants to demonstrate theoretical and practical competencies within a classroom environment.

This training course is intended to provide a broad understanding of the accountability and responsibility for infection control using principles of ASEPSIS and ANTT.

Why Is CPD infection control Important?

The potential human and financial burden of health care associated infections (HCAIs) and AMR is immense and is a priority area for health and public health around the world. The impact of infection for the patient can range from superficial to life threatening, and includes social, psychological and physical effects. This is why Infection Control Training is so important. Patients may suffer pain, require additional interventions, or experience extended length of stay and long-term physical effects as a result of infection. Aseptic technique is highlighted as an essential component in infection prevention programmes. Ability to undertake aseptic technique is an important clinical skill for all health professionals, especially nurses and midwives. Aseptic technique is used to support procedures such as cannulation, insertion of urinary catheters, blood cultures, wound dressings and administration of intravenous drugs.
