RSPH Level 2 Award in Infection Prevention and Control
About the course
The objective of the RSPH Level 2 Award in Infection Prevention and Control is to cover the principles of infection control through application of the ‘chain of infection’ and the ‘standard infection control precautions’ for Special Procedures Practitioners either employed, self-employed or as practitioners managing a business.
It is a valuable free standing qualification that is also suitable for trainee practitioners engaged in other relevant vocational training and employment.
The purpose of this qualification is for learners to obtain a knowledge and understanding of; the importance of infection control and prevention, associated infectious and non-infectious hazards, good infection practice and controls based upon an awareness of the chain of infection and standard infection control precautions.
Special Procedures Practitioners are individuals who practice acupuncture, body piercing, electrolysis or tattooing. In Wales these are as identified in Section 57 of the Public Health (Wales) Act 2017 and are further defined in Section 94 of that Act.
In England these are identified under Section VIII of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 as amended by the Local Government Act 2003.
