Stericycle have successfully launch a new e-learning programme for the healthcare sector, which is one of the first of its kind for the UK healthcare sector. The course is also being expanded to cover both COVID-19 and the disposal of sharps, a critical requirement currently during the vaccination rollout.

Designed to ensure best practice in clinical waste management and to keep health service organisations compliant, The online Health Waste Management CPD-accredited course covers the complete healthcare waste chain and has already been taken up by staff from more than 48 organisations across the country.

Good for Stericycle. Pity though that they make it available only for their customers and not for others. No doubt concerned about plagiarism by their competitors, it is nonetheless good to see when a company stands up above its competitors to do something positive. That too would surely be a strong recommendation, but with their restrictive approach its not easy to inform potential new clients.
