Course overview

An essential training course on hand hygiene designed for care home staff. As hand hygiene is thought to be the most important measure for preventing the spread of infections, a good knowledge of hand hygiene is essential in the care home environment

Infections can be prevented with good hand hygiene, but adherence with good practice remains low in some settings. So, prepare to question how much you know about hand hygiene and learn how to improve hand hygiene compliance in your care home.

Trainees can access this course at work or at home on a variety of smart devices including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smart phones.
