With the pandemic of COVID-19 of 2020, it has become more apparent than ever that we need to develop skills around outbreak investigation and management.

• infection prevention and control practice

We have renowned clinical experts contributing to our modules who will also support your learning alongside academic staff. As leaders in their field who are still practicing clinically, you will benefit from being able to engage and interact with them in specific modules.

This course is also available full time.
