Managing and controlling the risk of infection is crucial in healthcare settings, where the stakes can be as high as life or death. The Infection Control course is an indispensable resource for anyone in the healthcare field, whether you are an experienced practitioner, new to the industry, or considering a career in care. This comprehensive course is designed to enhance your personal and professional development by providing you with essential knowledge and practical skills to mitigate the risk of infections, including critical concerns such as MRSA.
The importance of infection control cannot be overstated. In healthcare environments, the spread of infections can have severe consequences for vulnerable patients, healthcare workers, and the wider community. This course equips participants with a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of infection transmission and the most effective methods to prevent and control these risks. By mastering these concepts, healthcare professionals can protect themselves and their patients, thereby improving overall healthcare outcomes.
A significant focus of the course is on real-world concerns, such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which poses a serious threat due to its resistance to common antibiotics. Understanding MRSA, its transmission routes, and prevention strategies is critical for anyone involved in patient care. The course delves into the specifics of handling such infections, providing evidence-based guidelines and protocols that can be implemented in various healthcare settings to minimise the spread of this and other dangerous pathogens.
Beyond specific pathogens, the course offers a robust grounding in general infection control practices. Participants will learn about standard precautions, such as hand hygiene, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the proper cleaning and disinfection of medical equipment and surfaces. These fundamental practices are the cornerstone of infection control and are essential for maintaining a safe healthcare environment. The course also addresses the importance of organisational policies and procedures in infection prevention, ensuring that healthcare facilities operate with the highest standards of safety and hygiene.
Course Key Topics
the Infection Control Essentials (Level 2) course is divided into 3 modules.
Module 1: Fundamentals of Infection Prevention and Control
Module 2: Understanding Infection Transmission
Module 3: Effective Cleaning and Waste Management Techniques

Career Profile - Microbiologist
Career Profile
Microbiologists study microorganisms (microbes) in order to understand how they affect our lives and how we can exploit them
By understanding microbes, microbiologists aim to solve a range of problems affecting our health, the environment, climate and food and agriculture. This can include the prevention, diagnosis and control of infections and disease, as well as ensuring that food is safe, understanding the role that microbes play in climate change, and developing green technologies.
As a microbiologist, you’ll focus on the biology of microorganisms at both the molecular and cellular level, as well as their ecology, including viruses, bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae and protozoa. You may work in:
* hospitals
* agriculture
* pharmaceuticals
* biotechnology
* education
* the environment.
Types of microbiologists
Microbiology is a vast subject which overlaps with other areas of life sciences, such as molecular biology, immunology and biochemistry.
Specialist areas include:
* medicine
* healthcare
* research and development
* agriculture and food safety
* environment and climate change.
Responsibilities
Tasks vary depending on your area of specialism. For example, clinical scientists working in microbiology will be involved in preventing, diagnosing and controlling the spread of infections, whereas those working in manufacturing may be involved in quality control, checking for signs of contamination.
Depending on your area of expertise, you’ll typically need to:
* monitor and identify microorganisms
* track microorganisms in a range of environments
* monitor and assess samples from a range of sources
* follow regular sampling schedules within a specific environment
* use a variety of identification methods, including molecular techniques, to test samples
* develop new techniques, products and processes
* develop and plan methods to prevent the spread of disease
* develop and register new medicines, vaccines, diagnostic tests and pharmaceutical products
* plan, implement and evaluate new products in clinical trials
* collect samples from different types of environments, such as agricultural sites
* develop products such as enzymes, vitamins, hormones and antimicrobials
* grow microbial cultures, for use in the food and drink industry or in agriculture for example
* work with specialist computer software to undertake studies and research
* manage and oversee laboratory work.
You may also need to:
* plan and organise resources and activities
* maintain accurate and up-to-date records
* write up research findings and produce reports
* keep up with new research
* attend and present at national and international conferences and other events
* liaise with colleagues from non-scientific departments
* supervise support staff
* tutor, supervise and mentor students (if working as a university lecturer or in a teaching hospital)
* provide information and advice to colleagues and external bodies.
Salary
* Jobs in the NHS for microbiologists working as clinical scientists are usually covered by the Agenda for Change (AfC) pay rates, consisting of nine pay bands. Trainee clinical scientists are usually employed at Band 6, on a starting salary of £35,392.
* Once qualified, you’re likely to be employed on Band 7 (£43,742 to £50,056). Salaries for principal and consultant scientists range from £50,952 (Band 8) to £114,949 (Band 9), depending on your experience and training.
* Salaries for higher education lecturers in microbiology usually follow a nationally agreed pay spine. See the University and College Union (UCU) website for details of the HE pay spine.
* Research and development work in pharmaceutical firms, public health laboratories and medical research council units tends to attract higher salaries.
Working Hours
You’ll usually work 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, although if you’re working as a clinical scientist in the NHS you may be on call.
Larger employers may provide flexible working schemes.
Part-time work is possible.
What to expect
* The work is generally laboratory-based in pathology departments or diagnostic laboratories in hospitals, although there are opportunities in other types of work environments. You’ll usually need to wear protective clothing such as gloves, coat and safety glasses.
* You’ll often work as part of a small team on projects and will usually be responsible for managing your own workload.
* Contract and temporary work is available at graduate and technician level within a number of sectors.
* Research work can provide more variety than that of routine identification or monitoring, which may be more structured.
* You may need to travel during the day for meetings or on-site visits. You may also travel throughout the UK and abroad to attend conferences and take part in collaborative research.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* the ability to design and plan research investigations and experiments
i* nterpersonal skills, as you may have contact with patients in some roles
* communication skills, to liaise with colleagues and the wider community
* the capacity to manage a laboratory project and collaborate with a wide variety of technical colleagues
* the ability to work well in a team and to manage your own workload
* problem-solving skills
* accuracy and a methodical approach to work
* organisational skills and attention to detail
* leadership qualities
* self-motivation and the ability to work with minimal supervision
* a good level of numeracy and IT skills.
Career prospects
There are generally good opportunities for career progression. In the NHS, it’s possible to move from practitioner, to specialist, to team manager and then consultant. At more senior levels, you’ll be involved in staff management with more responsibility for the work of the laboratory.
In some fields, you may need to be geographically mobile in order to progress. Specialisation in your degree course or in your choice of first job may affect your future career options.
Research in specialist areas such as bacteriology, virology, mycology and parasitology is possible, working with clinical colleagues or microbiologists working in industry.
Networking at all levels is part of successful career development and will help increase your career prospects. It’s important to maintain a professional profile by presenting research at meetings, undertaking work exchanges abroad and applying for research grants.
Experienced microbiologists may progress into other fields of work that benefit from their specialist knowledge, such as pharmaceutical sales and marketing, patent work, teaching, scientific publishing or the legal profession.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
