The management, design, operation, maintenance, and cleaning of a healthcare facility’s water systems and point-of-use services form the brief for the multi-disciplinary Water Safety Group that leads on safe water in today’s healthcare environment.
The Water Hygiene Centre, based in Charlbury in Oxfordshire, says that its open training courses are ‘designed specifically for the needs of Water Safety Group members – from those working in estates management, mechanical design, and hard and soft facilities management, to infection prevention and control specialists’.
The continuous open course programme includes:
-
Management Training – Role of the Responsible Person (1 Day).
-
Management Training – Role of the Authorised Person (1 Day).
The Water Hygiene Centre said: “Courses are offered at high quality venues throughout the UK on consecutive days, providing delegates with the opportunity to combine both courses into a two-day residential course providing comprehensive coverage of water safety management. In addition, we can also provide the aforementioned courses and ‘Management Training – Role of the Competent Person / Awareness training’ at your premises.”
Among positive comments from recent course participants are: ‘The best Legionella course to date – bar none!’ – Murray Stead, NHS Orkney; ‘Excellent training day, well-paced, very well presented, had a great day, thank you’ – Mike McCarron, Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust, and ‘Excellent training, well organised and presented’ – Peter West, Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust.
All training is delivered by experienced senior consultants who are actively engaged in the provision of authorising engineer (AE) services.
