The training introduces participants to the chain of infection, modes of transmission, standard and transmission-based precautions, hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, and the safe reprocessing of medical equipment. It also explores how effective IPC practice reduces healthcare-associated infections, protects patients and staff, and supports regulatory compliance. Participants will gain knowledge on cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization, biomedical waste management, outbreak recognition and response, and occupational health and safety for healthcare workers. The course further examines antimicrobial resistance and stewardship, isolation precautions, IPC programme management, and emerging trends affecting infection control. Through practical examples, case studies, demonstrations, and interactive discussions, participants will strengthen their ability to identify infection risks, apply preventive measures, and support safer care environments within their organisations. **Share this course:** [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-infection-prevention-and-control-ipc) [Twitter](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-infection-prevention-and-control-ipc&text=Infection+Prevention+and+Control+Management) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-infection-prevention-and-control-ipc&title=Infection+Prevention+and+Control+Management) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Infection+Prevention+and+Control+Management%20https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-infection-prevention-and-control-ipc) ## Learning Objectives - Understand the principles and importance of infection prevention and control - Explain the chain of infection and modes of disease transmission - Apply standard and transmission-based precautions correctly - Demonstrate proper hand hygiene and correct use of personal protective equipment - Understand cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization procedures - Apply safe biomedical waste management and sharps handling practices - Recognise, investigate, and respond to infection outbreaks - Understand antimicrobial resistance and the basics of antimicrobial stewardship - Strengthen compliance with IPC policies, standards, and regulatory requirements ## Course Content ### Module 1: Introduction to Infection Prevention and Control 1.
