Programme Introduction
About this programme
🏥 Healthcare Operations
✅ Compliance-Focused
📋 Practical Application
Older adults in long-term care settings face elevated infection risk due to age-related immune changes, higher rates of chronic illness, and close-contact communal living arrangements.
Effective geriatric infection prevention combines appropriate vaccination coverage, judicious antimicrobial stewardship, and structured control of healthcare-associated infections common in these settings.
TerraLeap’s Geriatric Infection Prevention programme is a CME course for geriatricians and long-term care teams, covering vaccination strategy, stewardship principles, and healthcare-associated infection control.
The programme covers age-appropriate vaccination schedules, principles of antimicrobial stewardship in older adults, and practical infection control measures for long-term care environments.
Practical, compliance-ready knowledge — built for real healthcare operations.
