Infection Control & Prevention, Including Acquired Infections Causes & Occurrences

Our training on Infection Control & Prevention, including Acquired Infections Causes & Occurrences, equips individuals with the knowledge, practical skills, and competencies to prevent the spread of infections, including healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a practical, evidence-based approach to preventing harm from avoidable infections among patients and health workers. Effective IPC requires constant action at all levels of the health system, including policymakers, facility managers, health workers, and those who access health services. IPC is unique in the field of patient safety and quality of care, as it is universally relevant to every health worker and patient, at every health care interaction. Defective IPC causes harm and can kill. Without effective IPC, it is impossible to achieve quality health care delivery.

Infection prevention and control affect all aspects of health care, including hand hygiene, surgical site infections, injection safety, and antimicrobial resistance.

The training is provided by a registered and qualified nurse.
