Build competence and authorisation requirements for anyone working on healthcare infection transmission risk.
Managing Infection Transmission Risk Among Healthcare Facility Workers
Build a working method for healthcare infection transmission risk that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
The cost of an incident involving healthcare infection transmission risk lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. A procedure for transmission risk that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. The course sets out a working method for this part of occupational health and safety that participants can apply the week they return. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about healthcare infection transmission risk in their own setting. Improvement in the wider occupational health and safety agenda stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. It is designed for mixed groups, so that transmission risk is examined from more than one functional angle. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on healthcare infection transmission risk and revise it on evidence. Across sectors, teams that rehearse transmission risk outperform teams that only plan it. The final module sets out how progress on this part of occupational health and safety will be evidenced six months later.
