When caring for young children or the elderly, even small actions can make a big difference in preventing the spread of infections. This 1-day classroom course is specially designed for all levels of staff and anyone involved in caregiving — from childcare providers and educators to eldercare professionals and support staff.
Through interactive discussions, real-life scenarios, and practical demonstrations, participants will learn how infections spread and how to implement effective hygiene and infection control measures in everyday care settings.
