The Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) Awareness course is designed to enhance the knowledge and understanding of healthcare professionals in preventing, diagnosing, and managing CDI, a significant healthcare-associated infection. CDI poses serious risks, particularly for vulnerable populations, and requires a comprehensive approach to safeguard patient health and ensure high-quality care.
This course provides a thorough understanding of CDI, including its epidemiology, transmission pathways, and clinical manifestations. Participants will explore evidence-based diagnostic and treatment strategies, such as antibiotic stewardship and advanced interventions like faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Emphasis is placed on infection prevention measures, including stringent hand hygiene, effective environmental decontamination, and patient isolation protocols, all aligned with UK health guidelines.
