To compliment the winter pressures webinar, you may also be interested in this online event which supports adult social care professionals in preventing and managing respiratory infections through effective infection prevention and control (IPC) practices.
Participants will learn about recognising symptoms, reducing transmission, applying current IPC guidance, using personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriately, and responding to outbreaks. The session promotes practical, person-centred approaches to protecting people who draw on care services, staff, and visitors while maintaining safe, high-quality care. It also helps providers strengthen compliance with national guidance and improve confidence in managing respiratory infection risks across care settings.
