Description
Healthcare staff often face anxiety over self-contamination, improper donning and doffing, and uncertainty during PPE shortages. The PPE Training for Healthcare Workers course from High Skills Training addresses these concerns by teaching correct infection control practices, safe handling of gloves, gowns, aprons, face shields, and respirators, and strategies to maintain compliance with CQC infection control standards and Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992.
This online course is designed for nurses, doctors, healthcare assistants, care home staff, domiciliary carers, cleaners, porters, and new or agency staff. Secondary audiences include care home managers, trainers, and educators responsible for infection control compliance. Learners gain confidence in safe PPE use, reducing the risk of cross-contamination, protecting themselves and the individuals in their care.
The curriculum begins with the Foundations of PPE Use in Healthcare, highlighting when and why PPE is required, preparing safely for use, and understanding standards for effectiveness. The module on Donning and Doffing Complex PPE Items focuses on correct sequences for eye and facial shields, gowns, aprons, head covers, and footwear, addressing the pain points of order-of-operations anxiety and fear of self-contamination. Learners practice coordinating multiple PPE items and understand the rationale behind the sequence.
Additional modules cover Safe Changing, Disposal, and Upkeep of PPE, teaching how to replace compromised equipment, safely dispose of used items, and maintain hygiene standards. The course also addresses Adapting PPE Use During Infection Risks, covering outbreak scenarios, low-supply situations, and home care PPE considerations. The course ensures learners can protect themselves, residents, and patients effectively.
With 24/7 learner support, a 14-day money-back guarantee, FREE Digital CPD Certificate, fully online access, additional resources, and quizzes, learners can self-assess knowledge and apply safe PPE practices confidently.
