Infection and disease can kill; the human body is constantly exposed to vast amounts of germs, micro-organisms and disease. Infection control is of paramount importance in settings such as hospitals and residential homes, but equally it must be maintained when care is provided in other settings. In this unit you will learn about the importance of infection control and you will be introduced to methods that help to prevent the spread of infection. All of this will enable you to apply infection control methods in the workplace.
