Course programme

Course review:

A course that focuses on one of the most deadly of superbugs, Clostridium Difficile with the aim of ensuring that the signs of the infection are clearly known and understood and so encourage prevention but also to deal with any outbreaks and to prevent the spread and to contain those affected.

The course is very easy to follow and very user-friendly explaining the nature of the infection, and the best ways to deal with any suspected incidents. The course also trains the user in best practice as regards hygiene standards, so helpful for warding against other infectious diseases, including MRSA and Norovirus.

Addressing itself to the particular signs of C.Diff infection, the course carefully and thoroughly takes the learner through all stages by using familiar scenarios. On being successful in the course exercises, assessments and tests the learner will receive a Certificate which provides sound evdence of the learning.
