Infection Control Training and Awareness

Overview

Infection Control training is aimed at all staff working in a health or care setting; they will
learn the importance of occupational infection control measures and will be made acutely
aware of their responsibilities in managing them. Delegates will also develop practical skills
in line with industry standards and guidelines set out by organisations such as the World
Health Organisation (WHO).
