You must complete the self-directed learning prior to the start of the 1/2 day virtual session.

Topics Covered:

Pre-course requirements
Before attending the course you must have read and be familiar with the Standard Infection Control Precautions (SICPS) and the RCN Guidance for the Prevention and Management of sharps injuries in health and social care settings.

Is there any funding available?

Eligible individuals employed in General Practice within Humber and North Yorkshire may access NHSE funding opportunities, available via the Primary Care Workforce and Training Hub.

Details of applicable funding options and eligibility can be found below, or in this document. If you are unsure or have any queries, please contact the Humber and North Yorkshire Training Hub on hnyicb.traininghub@nhs.net who will be happy to help advise.

If you are eligible for a funded place, please select the relevant ‘Funded' option at the checkout, and you will not be charged. As places on each date are limited, each eligible person may book with funding on only one date per course – if you wish to swap dates, please cancel your initial booking before re-booking another date. To avoid funding waste, multiple bookings for the same individual, non-attendance without cancellation, or short notice cancellation (except in exceptional circumstances) will not be funded. Eligibility will be checked for all funded bookings, if it is determined that you have incorrectly claimed eligibility for funding, an invoice for the full course fee will be issued.
