Infection Prevention in SA Healthcare: A Complete Overview
The South Australian healthcare industry relies on a high level of safety standards and infection control procedures to keep everyone safe. Norgrove Training plays an important role by training healthcare workers with our nationally recognised infection control course: HLTINF006 Apply basic principles and practices of infection prevention and control. Let’s review the key lessons you will learn in this course and how these principles apply to infection prevention in healthcare across the state.
Overall Risks of Infection
Your infection control course will provide an overview of the risks of infection and the potential implications for healthcare facilities, from doctor’s offices to hospitals and even aged care homes and residential centres. The more you know about infection prevention and control, the easier it will be to implement and follow precautions in line with national standards.
Guidelines for Different Infection Risks
As part of Norgrove Training’s infection control course, you will take a look at different infection risks and how to respond with hand hygiene procedures, personal protective equipment and cleaning/waste management. All these elements work together to create a safer environment with minimal risk to patients, so it’s important for all healthcare workers to understand and follow these procedures.
Exposure to Infection Risks
Lastly, infection control training covers three instances of exposure to infection risk. This includes managing blood/bodily fluids and incident documentation, reporting and response. You will also learn how to identify and clean contaminated zones, all essential lessons for healthcare workers who will come across infection risks every day on the job. After one full day of face-to-face training, you will be certified in the basic principles and practices of infection prevention and control.
