Announcing The Launch Of Our New Online Hand Hygiene Training Course For Healthcare Workers


We are excited to announce the launch of our Online Hand Hygiene Training Course for Healthcare Workers, explicitly designed for those working in Disability and Healthcare Services. This essential training addresses the crucial practice of hand hygiene to remove dirt, germs, and harmful substances, ultimately helping to prevent the spread of infections.

Why is Hand Hygiene So Important?

Proper hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to prevent infections in healthcare settings. These can have severe consequences, particularly for vulnerable individuals like those receiving care in disability and healthcare services. Research shows that poor hand hygiene is a leading cause of the spread of preventable infections. For instance, up to 1 in 10 people in Australia experience healthcare-associated infections yearly, but proper hand hygiene can drastically reduce these numbers.

The Australian government’s National Hand Hygiene Initiative has raised awareness about this critical issue, significantly improving infection control practices in healthcare and community settings. Now, it’s your turn to ensure your team is up to date with the latest hand hygiene techniques to protect the health of everyone in your care.

What’s Included in the Course?

Our Online Hand Hygiene Training Course covers a wide range of key topics, including:

  • The importance of hand hygiene and when it should be performed.
  • The correct handwashing techniques and the barriers preventing proper hand hygiene.
  • Practical tips and tools to improve hand hygiene compliance.

The course is structured to take approximately 15 minutes to complete and is designed to be engaging and accessible for all learning styles. Plus, it is available through the Sentrient online compliance platform or can be integrated into your existing Learning Management System (LMS).

Who Should Take This Course?

This course is ideal for employees, contractors, and volunteers in disability support and healthcare services. Whether you’re new to the sector or a seasoned professional, this training will equip you with the knowledge and skills to promote a culture of hand hygiene within your workplace.

Key Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course, participants will:

  • Understand the significance of hand hygiene and know when to perform it.
  • Master the correct handwashing technique.
  • Be able to address common barriers to proper hand hygiene.
  • Promote and advocate for a culture of hand hygiene in their workplace.
