Programme Introduction
About this programme
👩⚕️ Nursing Practice
✅ Bedside Skills
📋 Case-Based Learning
Home healthcare presents distinct infection prevention challenges, since care happens in an uncontrolled environment without the infrastructure and supplies routinely available in a hospital setting.
Effective home healthcare IPC depends on adapting hand hygiene, equipment care, and waste handling practices to whatever setting the patient’s home provides.
TerraLeap’s Home Healthcare IPC programme is designed for home-care nurses, community physicians, and IPC teams, covering hand hygiene, equipment care, and waste handling at home.
The programme covers hand hygiene adaptation for home settings, safe equipment care and reuse considerations, and appropriate waste handling and disposal in the home environment.
Bedside skill, clinical confidence — built for real nursing practice.
