Hand hygiene is a fundamental part of infection prevention in healthcare and care settings. Effective hand hygiene helps remove dirt and microorganisms from the hands and reduces the risk of transferring contamination between people, surfaces and care activities. For this reason, health and social care workers need to understand not only how to clean their hands correctly, but also when and why hand hygiene is required. This course provides practical knowledge to help learners develop safer and more consistent hand hygiene practices.
The CPD Hand Hygiene Course from Healthcare Academy London explores the principles of hand hygiene, how infections can spread, and the appropriate use of handwashing, alcohol-based hand rub and disposable gloves. Learners will develop an understanding of correct hand hygiene techniques, key points when hand hygiene should be performed, and factors that can affect effective practice, including hand condition and contamination risks. Designed for people working or supporting others in healthcare and care environments, the course offers focused learning that can help reinforce everyday infection prevention practices.
