About Course
Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) is a major cause of infectious diarrhoea in hospitals and care homes, especially after antibiotics. Learn how it spreads, who is at risk, the signs to report, and the infection control steps that stop it spreading – including why soap and water, not hand gel, is essential.
This course provides general infection prevention awareness only. Always follow your organisation’s infection prevention and control policies and advice from your local infection prevention team or health protection team.
