Preventing Infection in Care
Induction Programme – Activity Record
Learning Objective
 On completion of the Induction programme the learner will be able to list all
10 Standard Infections and Control Precautions (SICPs) and demonstrate the
correct procedures in applying them in practice
Throughout the Induction Programme you will be asked to record your thoughts or
reflections relating to the 10 SICPs and how they can be applied or related to your
specific care setting. The activities allow you to demonstrate your learning and
should help facilitate discussions with your manager or supervisor on how you might
implement changes or improvements in your care setting.
The certificate of completion and the activity sheet can be uploaded or printed from
the CD ROM and kept as evidence for continuing professional development and for
NMC revalidation purposes if registered, alternatively you may choose to upload your
evidence of learning using the NHS e-Portfolio and you can find the link to the
portfolio on the accompanying CD ROM.
For carers working towards SVQ2/3 the learning will provide some evidence towards
the SVQ portfolio and should be discussed with the SVQ assessor.
