Infection Prevention and Control Training for Healthcare Teams

Infection Prevention and Control in Care Environments

Provide your workforce with a practical grounding in infection prevention and control (IPC), enabling them to reduce the risk of infection transmission in clinical, care, and related settings. The course considers the role every member of staff plays in protecting patients, colleagues, visitors, and the wider community from avoidable healthcare-associated infections. Designed for healthcare providers and care organisations, the training translates essential IPC principles into everyday working practice, helping teams recognise infection risks and apply appropriate control measures with confidence.

Why this Training Matters for your Organisation

Preventing infection is fundamental to delivering safe care. Inconsistent practice can expose vulnerable people, staff, and visitors to unnecessary harm and place significant pressure on services. A shared understanding of IPC helps organisations embed safer routines, support assurance obligations, and maintain the confidence of the people who rely on their care.

Who Should Attend

This course is appropriate for:

• Healthcare workers involved in direct patient care or clinical support activities.
• Care staff working in residential, community, domiciliary, or specialist services.
• Managers responsible for promoting safe infection-control practice.

Learners will develop essential knowledge of infection prevention and control, including:

• The purpose of IPC and its importance in care-related settings.
• How infections may spread and the risks associated with healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs).
• Core measures that help reduce transmission and protect people from avoidable harm.
• The responsibilities of staff in maintaining safe, effective infection-control practice.

Following the course material, learners complete a 20-question multiple-choice assessment. The required pass mark is 100%, and answers are scored automatically so the outcome is available immediately. There is no charge for further attempts; learners can repeat the assessment until they successfully complete it.
