      Infection prevention and control (IP&C) practices are important in maintaining a safe environment for everyone by reducing the risk of the potential spread of disease.

      Improving infection control policies within your clinic by identifying potential risk areas and devising new strategies will increase the prevention of cross-contamination of potential zoonosis and nosocomial infections.

      1. Recognise infectious diseases
      2. Undertake an audit of infections within your clinic and undertake improvements in infection control to reduce the incidence of nosocomial infections
      3. Prepare a treatment regime for infections such as MRSA
      4. Appreciate the factors that affect hospital-acquired and surgical site infections
      5. Select appropriate cleaning agents for a variety of different items
      6. Improve the cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation of a wide variety of equipment and instrumentation
      7. Encourage the whole team to engage in appropriate infection control within all areas of their clinic
