MD Project Firstline offers webinars on various infection control topics each month. You may access the webinar from your phone, laptop or other device.
Join us to learn why proper cleaning and disinfection of sinks and drains is essential to preventing the spread of germs in the healthcare environment.
MD Project Firstline will offer a review of “What to do when you see diarrhea.” Learn about what may cause diarrhea and the appropriate infection control actions to take when providing patient care.
Take the lead in infection control training with easy-to-use materials. Choose from interactive Scavenger Hunts, quick Micro-learns or web-based Training Toolkits to train your team with confidence. Whether you’re adding to your current program or starting fresh, these resources help ensure your staff has the knowledge to keep patients and residents safe.
You asked for more interactive training tools, so we developed these two activities to get your team up and moving! Print and hang the posters in the breakroom, at a nurses’ station or throughout the hallways then hand staff the quiz to start the hunt!
The Project Firstline Infection Control Micro-Learns are a series of guided infection control discussions that provide brief, on-the-job education. Healthcare workers can easily apply the key points to their daily work and perform the recommended actions to keep germs from spreading. The micro-learns can be incorporated into existing activities, such as pre-shift huddles or team meetings.
