Healthcare professionals come into daily contact with various diseases and infections. It is crucial for them to possess the proper knowledge on how to effectively control and prevent the spread of infections, not only from patient to patient but also from patient to healthcare provider and patient to family members. This course aims to educate healthcare providers (HCPs) on how to protect themselves and prevent the cross-transmission of germs in healthcare environments.

First, we'll introduce you to the microorganisms that cause infection and their mode of transmission. You will learn the proper infection prevention and control measures, standard precautions, isolation methods and the importance of health surveillance of healthcare providers in mitigating healthcare-associated infections (HAI). We'll teach you the correct use of Personal protective equipment (PPE) and disposal of infectious waste, including the importance of maintaining hand hygiene, cleaning and disinfecting the healthcare environment.

Next, we'll introduce you to the principle of antimicrobial stewardship and its role in preventing antibiotic resistance and implementing the rational use of antimicrobials. You'll learn to recognise signs of disease outbreaks and strategies used to contain and control outbreaks. There are no prerequisites for this course. Anyone interested in creating awareness and preventing infection in any work setting can take this course. Don't wait. Get trained in infection prevention and control (IPC) and help hundreds and thousands of people from infections. Enrol now!
