Infection prevention & control training
Reduce infection risk in care settings and people's own homes — practical habits your team will actually use, from hand hygiene to outbreak awareness.
- Half day
- All staff
- Certificate provided
Who this course is for
Every member of staff in a care service — care workers, senior carers, domestic and kitchen staff, and managers. Infection prevention only works when the whole team works the same way, which is why this course is written for mixed groups.
What the course covers
- The chain of infection and how to break it
- Effective hand hygiene technique
- Safe use of PPE — when, what and how
- Cleaning, decontamination and waste disposal
- Infection risks in people's own homes
- Outbreak awareness and reporting
Delivery, duration and assessment
A half-day session delivered at your venue, at our training room, or live online. Learning is checked through interactive exercises and a practical hand-hygiene demonstration where delivered face-to-face. Certificates with unique registration numbers are issued on completion, alongside attendance records for your training matrix.
Compliance notes
Infection prevention and control is a core subject in Skills for Care's statutory and mandatory training guidance and a standing focus of CQC inspection. Most services refresh IPC training at least every three years, or sooner where policies or outbreaks require it.
