Course Introduction
About this course
The purpose of this course is to enhance the ability of healthcare providers to protect pediatric patients from infections. By providing up-to-date information and practical guidance, the course seeks to improve patient outcomes, reduce morbidity, and minimize the spread of infectious diseases.
Paediatric settings present distinctive infection prevention challenges — children's developing immunity, age-appropriate care needs, and family-centred environments require IPC approaches calibrated to paediatric realities.
This course covers infection control in paediatric settings — covering hand hygiene, isolation practices, environmental controls, vaccination, and the family-engagement strategies that support paediatric IPC.
