Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Donning and Doffing Safely
One of our latest free courses focuses on one of the most important aspects of infection prevention—using personal protective equipment correctly.
Although PPE became widely recognised during the COVID-19 pandemic, correct donning (putting on) and doffing (removing) techniques remain essential for protecting patients, healthcare workers and the wider community from infectious diseases.
This practical course covers:
- When PPE should be used
- Selecting the appropriate protective equipment
- The correct order for putting PPE on
- The safest sequence for removing PPE
- Common mistakes that increase contamination risk
- Practical tips that can be applied immediately in everyday clinical practice
Whether you work in general practice, hospitals, aged care, community health or any clinical setting, refreshing your PPE skills helps maintain a safe environment for everyone.
