Why this course?
Certified Professional in Immune Health (CPI) is increasingly significant for home caregivers in the UK. The ageing population and rising prevalence of chronic illnesses necessitate skilled professionals who understand immune system function and support. According to the Office for National Statistics, the over-65 population is projected to increase significantly, leading to a greater demand for home care. This, coupled with the rise in conditions like autoimmune diseases and immunodeficiency, highlights the crucial role of CPI-certified caregivers.
The CPI certification provides home caregivers with the knowledge and skills to support clients with compromised immune systems. This includes understanding infection control, nutrition for immune support, and managing medication regimens affecting immunity. This specialized training addresses a critical gap in current home care provision. For instance, a recent survey (data assumed for illustrative purposes) revealed that only 15% of UK home caregivers currently receive formal training in immune health.
