Infection course
This session aims to equip practitioners with information so that they can advise on infection-related public health issues and vaccination-related concerns in primary schools.
Learning objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Summarise relevant issues around hygiene in the primary school setting
- Review immunisation and effective interventions for immunisation in children of primary school age
- Manage both teacher and parental awareness of, and responses to, infectious disease
- Describe the management of cases/outbreaks of meningitis, diarrhoea and vomiting, conjunctivitis, impetigo and other diseases
- Describe the social impact, transmission and management of lice and scabies
This session uses self assessments that help you check what you have learnt. You do not have to use them and your answers are not seen by anyone else.
