Introduction:

Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) is the backbone of patient safety and healthcare quality. The Comprehensive IPC Program is designed to provide a structured, evidence-based understanding of how infections spread, how healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) can be prevented, and how IPC systems can be effectively implemented across healthcare settings. This program offers practical, standard-driven training aligned with real hospital workflows, ensuring learners develop strong competency in infection control principles, surveillance, outbreak management, and compliance practices.

Scope:

This course covers the complete IPC framework applicable to hospitals and healthcare facilities, including:

• Foundations of infection transmission and prevention strategies
• Standard precautions and transmission-based precautions
• Hand hygiene, PPE, biomedical waste, cleaning and disinfection
• Infection surveillance and monitoring systems
• Prevention bundles (CLABSI, CAUTI, SSI, VAP, etc.)
• Isolation policies, outbreak investigation, and reporting
• IPC audits, documentation, compliance, and accreditation readiness
• Role-based IPC implementation for clinical and non-clinical teams

Objectives:

By the end of this program, learners will be able to:

• Understand and apply core IPC principles in healthcare settings
• Identify infection risks and implement preventive strategies
• Apply evidence-based precautions and infection prevention bundles
• Conduct surveillance, audits, and IPC monitoring effectively
• Support outbreak prevention, early detection, and response
• Strengthen IPC compliance aligned with healthcare quality standards
• Improve overall patient safety and reduce healthcare-associated infections

Who can enroll:

This program is suitable for:

• Nurses, doctors, interns, and clinical staff
• Microbiologists, infection control nurses (ICN), and IPC team members
• Hospital quality managers and NABH/NABL coordinators
• Housekeeping, CSSD, biomedical waste handlers, and support staff
• Hospital administrators and patient safety officers
• Students in nursing, pharmacy, allied health sciences, and public health
