This course has been designed to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and nurses working anywhere in the world and our flexible and interactive distance learning programme will enable you to study whenever or wherever you want.

With the pandemic of COVID-19 announced in March 2020, it has become more apparent than ever that we need to develop skills around outbreak investigation and management. This is one of many topics covered in our online course and you will be able to develop and enhance your skills in this alongside other practice areas such as:

  • applied microbiology
  • decontamination
  • antimicrobial resistance
  • antimicrobial stewardship
  • infection prevention and control practice

We have renowned clinical experts contributing to our modules who will also support your learning alongside academic staff. As leaders in their field who are still practicing clinically, you will benefit from being able to engage and interact with them in specific modules.

“I would highly recommend Infection: Prevention and Control to any nurse (or AHP) wishing to enhance their knowledge and clinical expertise in this area. I was well supported both clinically and academically throughout my course journey and am grateful for the opportunities this has given me post-graduation.”

Jo McEwen, Advanced Nurse Practitioner
