Programme Introduction
About this programme
Radiology & Interventional Suite Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) focuses on minimizing infection risks in diagnostic imaging and interventional procedure areas where patients from multiple clinical settings converge. These areas involve high patient turnover, shared equipment, invasive procedures, and close coordination between clinical, technical, and support teams, making targeted IPC practices essential.
Radiology and interventional suites sit at the intersection of imaging, procedures and patient transit — creating IPC challenges that span shared equipment, contrast handling, sterile field maintenance and high patient throughput.
This programme covers IPC adapted for radiology and interventional environments — covering equipment cleaning, sterile-field discipline, infection-aware workflow and PPE for procedural staff.
🛡 Built for safer care. Structured, evidence-based, and mapped to global IPC standards — designed to translate directly into stronger patient and staff safety.
