Legionnaires’ Disease in Health and Social Care Overview

In this course, we will explore what you need to know in order to support an individual after a Legionnaire’s diagnosis and what to look out for. Legionnaires’ disease is a serious and potentially life-threatening lung infection caused by Legionella bacteria. It can affect individuals in care settings, making it vital for care staff to recognise symptoms early and understand how to respond effectively.

Our course is split into two accessible units covering what Legionnaires’ disease is, who is at risk, how it’s transmitted, and what symptoms to look for. Learners will also explore treatment approaches and how to minimise risk through infection control and prevention strategies. Designed for care workers, support staff, and anyone responsible for maintaining safe care environments, the course is CPD-certified, fully online, and includes a final knowledge check.
