The aim of this award is to enable staff working within decontamination environments to undertake career progression, managerial roles and lead teams of multi-professional staff.
This course aims to critically evaluate the relationships between evidence-based-practice, leadership, quality management and risk management, and professional development necessary for lifelong learning. Critical enquiry will be built on inter-professional learning platforms to enable students to actively contribute to the emerging body of underpinning evidence within professional practice.
The course is aimed at supporting all decontamination staff who wish to develop personally and professionally within the UK, European and international decontamination settings. The course promotes examination of local, national and international factors which shape and influence best practice and contemporary challenges faced within this ever evolving and changing arena. This distance learning approach enables students to share existing knowledge and to acquire new knowledge and skills utilising its interactive virtual learning environment.
