Visualising Infection with Optimised Light for Education and Training (VIOLET) PPE Course

High Consequence Infectious Disease (HCID) Training UK’s one day HCID Assessment PPE course is the perfect way to develop and refine skills in safe assessment and care for patients with suspected HCID infection, and gives practical insight into pathogen transmission using VIOLET, a manikin developed by the HSE to simulate ultraviolet tracers via airborne and contact routes.

UV simulation is one component of our HCID training course. We take an evidence-based approach to course design and teaching in order to provide an educationally effective, insightful experience for our learners.

This course uses VIOLET, a manikin developed and refined by the HSE Science division to accurately simulate pathogen transmission via airborne and contact routes. It allows direct visualisation of contamination which facilitates effective teaching of contamination reduction behaviours.
