Bacterial Infections and Drug Use

Can you recognise the signs and symptoms of a bacterial infection? 

After completing this course, you will know the signs and symptoms of a bacterial infection, gain an overview of different bacterial infection outbreaks in Scotland, and learn harm reduction information relevant to bacterial infections.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Recognise the signs and symptoms of bacterial infections
• Recall different bacterial infection outbreaks in Scotland
• Describe harm reduction information for bacterial infection in the context of substance use

Although the course has been designed to meet the needs of people who may come into contact with people who use drugs, various other audiences will benefit from the e-learning, including housing workers, social workers, and mental health workers. The course can be completed in under 2 hours, or alternatively can be completed in separate sittings to provide a fully flexible learning experience.
