We’ve launched a new infection prevention and control e-learning programme for clinical staff working in the community. We’ve worked in partnership with community NHS providers to create bespoke e-learning for health training for clinical staff that carry out home visits for patients.  

 The module recognises the additional infection control challenges that home visits can present, and identifies the additional risks and precautions needed to ensure the provision of safe, high-quality care. 

 This training applies to several healthcare professionals and community settings, including paediatric, GP, and physiotherapist home visits.  

 The training pilots a new model of delivery – using short videos, followed by questions for users to answer. It follows National Infection Prevention and Control guidelines, and forms part of the existing Infection Prevention Control Level 2 session. Please set aside 30 – 60 minutes to complete the training.

You can now access the new module on the learning hub.
