Hospital Staff Training: NABH, Infection Control and Patient Safety

Training modules

• NABH awareness — what accreditation means for each role, and how assessors interview staff
• Infection prevention and control — hand hygiene, PPE, sterilisation, environmental cleaning, device bundles
• Medication safety — high-alert and look-alike sound-alike medicines, safe administration, error reporting
• Patient rights and communication — consent, privacy, complaints, patient education
• Fire safety and emergencies — RACE/PASS, evacuation, code drills
• Biomedical waste — segregation, handling, needle-stick injury response
• Quality indicators — what to record, why it matters, how improvement is shown
• AYUSH therapists — therapy protocols, consent, hygiene of therapy areas
• Dental teams — instrument reprocessing, chairside infection control, radiation safety

The questions assessors usually ask each role, with model answers, are in our guide to NABH questions for staff.

Training is part of every NABH project, and is also available on its own for hospitals that want to raise standards before or after accreditation.
