Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a practical, evidence-based approach preventing patients, health workers and members of the public from being harmed by avoidable infections. Effective IPC requires constant action at all levels, including policymakers, facility managers, health workers and members of the public.

Without effective IPC it is impossible to achieve quality infection prevention in the workplace. Defective IPC can cause harm and can even kill so it is vital that proper infection prevention and control is understood and adhered to.

Infection Prevention and Control for the Workplace

This course is designed to help you understand how to prevent and control infection, including coronavirus, and why it is important to do so. Some of the topics covered include the chain of infection and PPE. 

The infection chain begins with the Causative Agent (the germ) – Reservoir/source (how the germ proliferates) – Means of Exit (how the germ spreads). 

PPE or Personal Protective Equipment covers the equipment necessary to prevent germs spreading and thus protecting against infection. The personal protective equipment at work regulations place a legal duty on employers to provide PPE for employees.

A curriculum vitae, often abbreviated as CV, is a document that provides a detailed overview of a person's education, work experience, and other relevant achievements. Typically used in employment and research settings, CVs are often longer than traditional resumes and are designed to showcase an individual's professional and personal accomplishments. A well-written CV should be organised, clear, and concise, highlighting the most important information about the individual's professional background and qualifications. 

There are several key elements that should be included in a CV. These include personal information such as your name, contact information, a summary or objective statement that outlines the individual's career goals and qualifications; education and academic credentials; work experience, including internships and other relevant jobs; professional skills and achievements; and any additional information such as voluntary work, personal interests and awards. It's important to tailor a CV to the specific position or field in which you are applying, highlighting the most relevant information and skills.
