Summary

The British Academy for Training and Development offers a course on Infection Control in Healthcare Facilities and the prevention of bacterial spread in health centers to protect patients. This course is designed for anyone interested in improving the healthcare standards in their country.

Infection and disease transmission due to the growth of bacteria and fungi are common in unclean areas, but this is not typically the case in facilities with high levels of sterilization, such as healthcare facilities. However, infections can still occur in these settings for several reasons, the most notable being the resistance acquired by germs, especially Staphylococcus bacteria (commonly known as hospital bacteria) due to their resistance to antibiotics. In healthy individuals, the body can fight off these bacteria, but in patients with weakened immune systems, this can be dangerous. If infection control measures are not followed, it can lead to disastrous consequences, including the closure of healthcare facilities and legal actions against staff, as has occurred in many hospitals.
