Infection Control Awareness Workshops
Infection Control Awareness
Learn the facts about how to manage the spread of infection. This course will equip you with an essential understanding of how viruses, including Covid-19, are spread and the role we can play in managing (or contributing to) this spread. You will get an understanding of general principles of infection prevention and control as well as specific learnings about how to use a mask safely and what ‘good hand hygiene’ really means.

I really enjoyed the course and found it to be most informative, friendly and hands on. Michelle’s demonstrations on moving, handling and hoisting were excellent. We all took turns in using equipment as well as moving and lifting each other. Michelle was very patient and answered many questions as each students needs were for different mobility issues. Well done Askham!! Please inform me of any future courses.
Very friendly and helpful. Michelle showed the importance of the caring and use of equipment appropriately. Thank you, Michelle!
I was a bit nervous about attending training as I don’t work as a carer, but I found it to be so useful for me to ensure I can safely look after my husband at home when he comes to stay.
