An educational workbook has been produced specially for staff providing Domiciliary Care staff to help with CQC registration requirements and achieve compliance with The Health and Social Care Act 2008: Code of Practice on the prevention and control of infections and related guidance.

This innovative 72 page Workbook is A5 size, suitable for a wide range of staff providing care at home to service users, such as domiciliary and rehabilitation teams who undertake personal care or assist with daily living activities.  It is designed for all levels of staff and each member of staff should receive their own copy to be worked through at their own pace.

• Purchase: Available @ £3.29, including postage when purchasing 61 or more copies.  See order form for further details.

The workbook provides:

• National guidance
• Evidence-based information
• 18 topics including the Standard infection control precautions, Specimen collection, Preventing a urinary tract infection, Urinary catheter care, Viral gastroenteritis/Norovirus, Clostridioides difficile, MRSA, MRGNB and CPE
• Each topic includes a ‘test your knowledge’ section
• When 100% competency has been achieved, managers sign the ‘Certificate of completion’ at the end of the Workbook, providing evidence for CQC registration requirements
• The Workbook should be kept by the member of staff as part of their portfolio of evidence of learning and can be used as a reference guide for day-to-day working.

The Workbooks are brilliant resources and staff are lucky you are there to support them. Completion of the workbook would be an ideal way for Domiciliary Care agencies and Care Home owners to demonstrate staff training to the CQC
