Infection Control Webinars. We know you’re busy! These one hour webinars are a quick and easy way to gain knowledge that you can apply at your facility. Most award 1 hour CNE through mid-2020.
Take the SPICE Course: Infection Control in Long Term Care Facilities: This 3-day training is for nursing home staff who have been designated by their facility to oversee the infection control activities.
Free training modules for all nursing home staff: These trainings for all staff engage and educate. The six module topics are antibiotic resistant bacteria, isolation precautions, environmental cleaning, injection safety, C. difficile, and UTIs both.
Tools for Success: These tools have been developed with Long Term Care Facilities in mind; however, other facility types may find them useful.
