Certificate in Infection Prevention and Control for Nurses

master infection prevention in healthcare with hand hygiene, PPE, isolation precautions, cleaning, surveillance, vaccinations, and antibiotic stewardship to protect patients and healthcare workers.

Implement a hospital infection control program to prevent infections, protect patients, promote safe practice, monitor outbreak, and promote antibiotic stewardship.

Learn the duties of an infection control nurse, including surveillance of hospital infections, hand hygiene, isolation practices, staff training, audits, and outbreak management.

Apply core infection control principles, including hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, respiratory hygiene, environmental cleaning, safe injection, and waste management, isolation, sterilization, vaccination, and staff education to prevent hospital infections.

The video explains the hospital infection control committee’s structure and roles, and how daily surveillance, audits, hand hygiene, antibiotic stewardship, and documentation reduce infections.

Explore infection control risk assessment (ICRA) in healthcare settings, detailing when to implement during construction, identify high-risk areas, align with NAB's JCI and CDC standards, and develop SOPs and checklists.

Identify hospital acquired infections like CLABSI, CAUTI, SSI, VAP, and MRSA, and recognize causes such as poor hand hygiene and improper device use.

Execute infection surveillance and reporting in healthcare, using active and passive methods, track outbreaks and key infections like catheter-associated urinary tract infections, central line-associated bloodstream infections, and enable timely interventions.

Implement risk management in infection control to identify, mitigate, and monitor infection risks, and advance hand hygiene, PPE, environmental cleaning, antimicrobial stewardship, and safety to prevent hospital acquired infections.

Learn how hospital cleaning reduces healthcare-associated infections by targeting high-touch surfaces with effective disinfectants. Implement color coding, PPE, and cleaning-to-dirty workflows across wards, ICU, operating theatres, and labs.

Learn hospital cleaning protocols that ensure hygiene and patient safety across ICU, operation theatre, and isolation rooms using color-coded, clean-to-dirty methods with 1% sodium hypochlorite and alcohol-based disinfectants, PPE.

Explore cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization in hospitals, outline disinfection levels and key chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide, and cover area-specific protocols and staff safety.

Learn hospital biomedical waste management, including segregation at generation with color-coded bins (yellow, red, white, blue), storage, transport, disposal, and compliance with the Biomedical Waste Management Rules 2016.

Explore engineering controls in infection prevention, including ventilation with negative/positive pressure, HEPA filtration, physical barriers, sensor-based automatic doors, touchless dispensers, water safety, waste management, antimicrobial surfaces, and advanced disinfection.

Learn essential personal protective equipment for nurses, including gloves, masks, face shields, gowns, goggles, and N95 options, and master safe donning, doffing, and disposal practices.

Master environmental cleaning protocols for surfaces, floors, and windows in healthcare facilities, using PPE, hospital-grade disinfectants, a three-bucket system, clean-to-dirty and top-to-bottom methods, with high-touch surface care and documented schedules.

Learn how airflow and ventilation control infection spread by managing air changes per hour, pressure zones, laminar airflow, and HEPA filtration across operation theatres, ICUs, and isolation rooms.

Strengthen infection control by ensuring safe water supply and sanitation in healthcare facilities through quality source, filtration and treatment, storage, sanitation protocols, monitoring, and staff training.
