A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Principles of infection prevention and control

The core ideas of infection prevention and control (IPC) revolve around the hierarchy of controls, the principles of hand hygiene, environmental cleaning, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Mastering these concepts is essential for the exam because they form the foundation for designing and evaluating effective IPC programmes in Nigerian health facilities.
