Introduction

This training is aimed at Practice Nurses who are new to providing immunisations and will be providing the full range of childhood and adult immunisations covered in the routine UK schedules. Β It will provide nurses with the latest guidance on national immunisation programmes, anaphylaxis and demonstrate the tools and resources available to manage common incidents and educate patients. Foundation training and updates are tailored to suit the requirements of the delegates to their specific area of practice and the vaccine(s) that they deliver.

Objectives

During this session we will cover:

  • Current issues in immunisation
  • Recent epidemiology of vaccine preventable disease
  • Any changes to vaccine recommendations or national policy
  • Update on vaccine ordering, storage and administration
  • Any changes to legislation relevant to vaccination
  • Review of current practice, recent vaccine incidents and identification of areas for improvement

We will also look at baby imms, and where appropriate HPV/Shingles and other routine vaccines

Changes to the Routine Vaccination Schedule

The trainer strongly advises all delegates sign up for the Vaccine Update Newsletter.
