Training courses on hospital-acquired infections

Scientific progress and technological innovation require healthcare professionals to be regularly updated and trained to ensure the effectiveness, appropriateness, safety and efficiency of the care provided by the National Health Service (SSN). This need has also become evident during the pandemic. Against this backdrop, the investment aims to introduce an extraordinary training programme on hospital-acquired infections.

The aim of the investment is todevelop professional skills through a training programme on hospital-acquired infections for staff within the healthcare system.
