One of the most common forms of food poisoning in the UK is Campylobacter. The good news is that most cases are preventable through understanding how it spreads and what best practice personal hygiene looks like.
Learn everything you need to know about Campylobacter and how to protect yourself and others through our online course created in partnership with Dr Lisa Ackerley, The Hygiene Doctor.
What is Campylobacter? Is it serious?
Campylobacter is a type of bacteria and is the cause of one of the most common forms of food poisoning. The good news is that cases are generally mild, and most people who catch it will recover quickly. However, for children, elderly people, and people with certain existing health conditions, catching it can pose serious health risks.
Through our online course, you will learn how to minimise the risks of Campylobacter and protect yourself and your loved ones.
