Why this course?

PPE Compliance is a critical aspect of the healthcare industry, particularly for contractors who work closely with patients. In the UK, the National Health Service (NHS) has reported a significant increase in PPE-related incidents, with 1,444 reported incidents in 2020-21, resulting in 1,444 reported incidents (Source: NHS Safety Investigation Branch). To address this issue, the NHS has introduced mandatory PPE training for all healthcare contractors. A recent survey conducted by the British Healthcare Association found that 75% of contractors reported a lack of knowledge about PPE compliance, while 60% reported a lack of confidence in their ability to provide safe care (Source: British Healthcare Association).
