  8. Infection Control e-learning package

    Hi It's mandatory in my Trust for all staff to complete it in the first 3 months in post. It's fairly basic, but covers the needed ground. As far as e-learning packages go I think it's not bad - not the worst I've seen by any stretch of the imaginati...
