Teaching methods
Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a practical, evidence-based approach preventing patients and health workers from being harmed by avoidable infections. Globally effective IPC requires constant action at all levels of health systems, including policymakers, facility managers, health workers and those who access health services. IPC is unique in the field of patient safety and quality of care, as it is universally relevant to every health worker and patient, at every health care interaction. Without effective IPC it is impossible to achieve quality health care delivery and improve the status of global health.

· to analyze and implement concepts, principles, and policies of global infection prevention and control
· to apply evidence-based infection prevention and control models in composing, and evaluating IPC practices in diverse settings

Completion alternatives
According to the degree regulations (2024) Students are entitled to apply for recognition of prior learning regardless of where, when and how the competence has been acquired. ... At Laurea, there are two different procedures for the recognition and accreditation of prior learning: a) accreditation of prior learning (competence acquired in higher education studies at another institution) and b) demonstration of competence (competence acquired in other ways). The recognition and accreditation of prior learning is initiated by the student themselves. The student is responsible for demonstrating and verifying their competence. The student is entitled to guidance for the recognition and accreditation of their competence. Further information in the student intranet
