Infection Prevention and Control / Covid-19 webinars for care home staff
Our Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) team recently delivered a webinar on IPC / COVID-19 for care home staff, which is now available on Turas Learn.
In collaboration with other stakeholders, the 90-minute webinar provides staff with key infection prevention and control information needed to protect themselves and others in a care home setting.
Learning outcomes:
- Identify why infection prevention and control is important
- Discuss effective application of good infection prevention and control practices
- Consider changes required in your practices to enable improvements which may be required
- Source the latest guidance and resources available
The webinars also supported the publication of the new Scottish COVID-19 Care Home Infection Prevention and Control Addendum to the National Infection Prevention and Control Manual.
Altogether, over 2,700 staff attended over 9 webinars in December 2020 and January 2021.
Staff unable to attend one of the live webinars can access a recording via the IPC / Covid-19 webinars for care home staff page on Turas Learn.
As well as the webinar recording, this page contains:
- PowerPoint presentation with notes

It will also host an FAQ section which will be added soon.
