Course Curriculum

Module 1: Understanding Complex Infection Transmission

This module examines how infections spread within healthcare and other high-risk environments. Learners explore healthcare-associated infections, evidence-based prevention measures, risk management, and the development of effective infection control programmes.

Module 2: Identifying Emerging Infectious Diseases

Emerging infections can create new challenges for healthcare systems and communities. Learners consider global disease trends, early detection, rapid response, vaccination, and lessons that can be drawn from significant infectious disease events.

Module 3: Microbiological Knowledge for Infection Control

A stronger understanding of microorganisms can help explain why certain infections are difficult to control. Topics include MDROs, microbial pathogenesis, disease transmission, antimicrobial resistance, and precautions for high-risk pathogens.

Module 4: Infection Control in Surgical and Invasive Procedures

Invasive procedures require careful infection prevention at every stage. The module covers sterilisation, disinfection, safe instrument handling, infection prevention during diagnostic procedures, and monitoring for infections following treatment.

Module 5: Managing Infection Control During Outbreaks

When an outbreak occurs, timely action and effective coordination become particularly important. Learners explore outbreak investigation, control measures, epidemic and pandemic response, environmental considerations, and collaboration with public health authorities.

FAQs

Who should take Infection Prevention and Control Level 3?

The course is suitable for healthcare workers, infection prevention and control staff, clinical supervisors, care managers, health and safety personnel, and others involved in infection prevention in Canadian healthcare or care environments.

What topics are covered in Infection Prevention and Control Level 3?

The course covers complex infection transmission, emerging infectious diseases, microbiology, multidrug-resistant organisms, antimicrobial resistance, surgical infection prevention, sterilisation, disinfection, outbreak investigation, and public health collaboration.

What are healthcare-associated infections?

Healthcare-associated infections are infections that can develop during or following healthcare delivery. They can occur in hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics, and other healthcare environments.

Does the course cover infection transmission?

Yes. Learners examine how infections can spread, factors that increase transmission risks, and approaches used to strengthen infection prevention in higher-risk environments.

Is Infection Prevention and Control Level 3 suitable for beginners?

The course is advanced in scope, so some previous healthcare or infection prevention awareness can be useful. However, learners should review the entry requirements of their workplace or intended role separately.

Can this course help with a career in infection control?

It can strengthen knowledge relevant to infection prevention, healthcare safety, clinical support, quality, and health and safety roles. However, specific Canadian roles may require additional education, professional registration, experience, or employer-specific requirements.

I appreciated how the topics connected infection control with real healthcare situations. The material on sterilisation, invasive procedures, and outbreak management was clear and easy to follow alongside my regular work.

The course helped me understand infection prevention from a broader perspective. The sections on healthcare-associated infections, antimicrobial resistance, and outbreak response were especially useful and gave me more confidence in recognising infection risks at work.
