The programme develops the specialist knowledge, practical skills and professional behaviours required to maintain safe, hygienic and fully compliant environments where patient safety is paramount.
Learners gain a detailed understanding of infection prevention and control, safe handling and disposal of waste, colour-coded cleaning systems, and the correct use of cleaning chemicals and equipment.
