The risk of infection within a healthcare setting poses a significant risk to patients, carers and staff. Without effective infection prevention and control approaches, infection can cause distress, harm, and impair the quality of life and healthcare experiences. Therefore, prevention of infection has to be a key priority for all staff groups working within a healthcare setting.

At the end of this course, learners are required to complete an online assessment. On successful completion of the assessment (80% pass mark), learners may download a Infection Prevention and Control Level 2 certificate from their profile page. Our certificate can be used to provide evidence for compliance and audit purposes.
