Covid-19 Training for NHS, Health and Social Care staff
This 12-section eLearning course from Skills for Health will train NHS, Health and Social Care staff on best practice when dealing with the ongoing pandemic and teach key findings from the course of the last 18 months to improve health, safety and welfare of both staff and patients. The skills learned will include basic awareness about Covid-19 (Coronavirus), how it is transmitted, the severity and symptoms experienced by patients, best practice for infection prevention and control, respiratory education, how to manage and utilise Personal Protective Equipment (PPE and much more).
First launched in March 2020 as a rapid response to the Covid-19 outbreak, the Skills for Health eLearning course has been continually developed to increase both the number of modules and learning involved to help prepare new, existing and redeployed staff to deal with and continue to manage Covid-19 cases.
The content has been developed from guidance provided via www.gov.uk.
