Infection, Prevention and Control (Care) in brief: Infection, Prevention and Control (Care) is an online course from ProCompliance covering how infection spreads in a care setting and how to stop it. The Globe LMS delivers it. It runs at each learner's own pace, so they can pause and resume it, and it issues a certificate on completion.

Why this training matters

People receiving care are often more vulnerable to infection and less able to recover from it, which makes prevention part of everyday practice rather than an occasional precaution. Standard 15 of the Care Certificate covers how infection spreads, the hand hygiene and personal protective equipment that interrupt it, and your responsibilities for keeping the people around you safe.

Infection Prevention and Control (Care) meets Standard 15 of the Care Certificate. People receiving care are often more vulnerable to infection and less able to recover from it, so prevention is part of everyday practice. The course covers how care workers keep infection from spreading.
