In our comprehensive online Illness Prevention & Control in Care Training, we detail the transmission of disease, how to prevent the spread of infection, and the significance of personal hygiene and cleanliness in the caregiving profession.
Cleanliness practises including hand washing, throwing away trash, wearing protective gear, and disposing of Sharps will also be covered in this training.
Statistics from the Office for National Statistics (2015) show that twenty percent of Brits are sixty and up. From 14.9 million in 2014 to 18.5 million in 2025, that is the projected growth in the number of individuals aged 60 and over. With an ageing population on the rise, not just in the UK but throughout the world, it is imperative that individuals providing care for the elderly are well-versed in the best practises for avoiding the transmission of disease.
