Hospital and Healthcare Facility Security Management

Hospitals and clinics stay open around the clock, hold medicines and equipment worth attacking and see staff face aggression from distressed patients and visitors. This course helps healthcare security teams protect wards, pharmacies, maternity units and casualty areas while keeping facilities open and welcoming. Participants learn to manage aggression, control access to sensitive areas and coordinate security with clinical priorities in a typical African healthcare setting.
