What learners have said about this course
"The delivery of the [Infection Control] course was carried out in a very professional manner and the content was specific to the needs of our staff and very appropriate...the staff enjoyed the sessions immensely. One comment was that it was one of the better training courses for interest and enjoyment. It applied the theory to the practice which is what staff can relate to. It was a credit to your company."
Lesley Hughes, Home Manager, Church Terrace
"I attended both the Health and Safety and Infection Control Awareness course today with Jo [Whitworth] – it was very informative and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The fact that it was informal made both the carers and I “take in” the information and Jo certainly knew her subjects."
