Infection Control Level 3 Online Training

Our Infection Control Online training teaches learners how to control the spread of infections and handle outbreaks safely. It’s important for those in healthcare to know about infection control in care homes. This helps ensure safe and effective care for everyone.

Infections that are caused either, through being in a care establishment (nosocomial) or as a result of receiving treatment (iatrogenic), can be prevented. Often, neither may appear until after people leave the care establishment.

Infections can spread quickly and harm vulnerable patients. So, it’s best to keep your employees updated on infection control precautions and skills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the 3 levels of infection control?

There are three levels of infection control:

  1. Standard Precautions: Basic ways to prevent infections for everyone, like washing hands and using protective clothing.
  2. Transmission-Based Precautions: Extra precautions for people with known or suspected infections. These are used when infections can spread through contact, droplets, or in the air.
  3. Special Pathogen Precautions: Specific precautions for handling highly infectious diseases like Ebola or COVID-19. These are used when dealing with very dangerous infections.

Why is Infection Control Important

Infection control is important to keep people safe and healthy. It stops infections from spreading and making others sick. By following simple steps like washing hands and using protective gear, we can protect ourselves and others.
In healthcare, it helps prevent infections from spreading between patients and workers.

In daily life, we need to wash our hands and wear masks when needed. By working together and following guidelines, we can keep ourselves and others safe from infections.

What are the 4 stages of infection?

An infection has four stages:

  1. Exposure: When the person comes into contact with the germ.
  2. Early Signs: Feeling a bit unwell and tired.
  3. Full Sickness: Feeling the worst and can spread the infection to others.
  4. Recovery: Starting to feel better, and the body fights the germ.

Remember, infections can be different for everyone, and some may not have all these stages.

What is the difference between Infection Control Awareness Training and an Advanced Infection Control Course?

The main difference between Infection Control Awareness Training and an Advanced Infection Control Course lies in their level of depth and complexity.

Infection Control Awareness Training is for beginners. It teaches basic infection control, like handwashing and using protective gear.

An Advanced Infection Control Course is for healthcare pros and those who know about infection control already. It covers more complex stuff, like handling outbreaks and special healthcare settings.

What does the CQC do for infection prevention and control?

The CQC is in charge of checking and making sure healthcare places follow rules for infection prevention and control. They inspect and set standards, and if a place doesn’t follow the rules, they take action.

They also share information with other agencies to keep everyone safe and healthy. Their role is to protect patients and make sure healthcare is good and safe.
