Infection Prevention & Control for Educators has been adapted from the successful Infection Prevention & Control online course for Healthcare Workers, accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland. Developed with input from teachers, nurses and infection prevention & control specialists, the 1 hour online course, which can be completed during Croke Park hours, gives you the knowledge to help protect you and the children you work with during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Commenting on the announcement, Founder and CEO Deirdre Kennedy said “Infection Prevention and Control is no longer a concern solely reserved for healthcare providers, educators are front line workers who share the same challenges in stopping the spread of COVID-19. This course will help the learner develop a comprehensive and practical understanding of infection transmission and how to break the chain of infection, based on real-world experience of classroom environments combined with best practice in infection prevention & control.”.

This 1 hour certified online course, which can be completed from anywhere using a laptop, tablet or mobile device, is engaging and self-paced, without relying on PDF’s, scheduled content or video conferencing. “Our focus on the end-to-end learning experience, from the first moment you visit our site, to when you receive your certificate, the whole journey revolves around ensuring you have the best learning experience possible” says co-founder and COO Chris Kennedy.

This course is currently available on bestpracticehealthcare.ie and costs €25, and is suitable for all educators from early childcare, through primary and secondary school environments.
