Infection control is hugely important in preventing or stopping the spread of viral, bacterial or fungal pathogens. Infection control in care homes and hospitals is vital as infections can be life-threatening for those in care.

Effective infection prevention and control (IPC) measures will prevent avoidable infections and help keep a healthy and safe environment for everyone.

Learning how to prevent cross-infection gives staff and patients confidence in your organisation’s hygiene and cleanliness standards.
