Programme Introduction
About this programme
👩⚕️ Nursing Practice
✅ Bedside Skills
📋 Case-Based Learning
Infection prevention is one of the first practical skill sets every nurse must master, since nurses spend more direct time with patients than almost any other member of the care team.
At the bedside, this means consistent hygiene practice, correctly applying precautions for each patient, and handling needles and sharps safely to protect both patient and self.
TerraLeap’s Hospital-Based IPC for Nurses course is a foundational programme covering hygiene, precautions, and sharps safety for nurses, students, and ward-based healthcare staff.
The course covers everyday hygiene practice on the ward, applying appropriate precautions for different patients, and safe sharps handling to prevent occupational injury.
Bedside skill, clinical confidence — built for real nursing practice.
