Abstract
This review sets out to explore how education and training provisions for members of the Infection Control Team (ICT) have developed alongside their roles and in response to changes in the British National Health Service. It focuses on the Consultant in Communicable Disease Control, the Infection Control Doctor and the Infection Control Nurse in the United Kingdom, but also briefly considers approaches adopted by other countries. Future developments should include maximizing information technology for delivering teaching materials, shared learning and improvements to pre-registration curricula for both doctors and nurses.
