This half day course is suitable for HCAs already trained in the administration of influenza vaccination and requiring an annual update ahead of the current season. As seasonal flu changes every year, it is essential that skills and competency are refreshed to maintain evidence of best practice and provide safe, effective delivery of the vaccination programme.
This interactive workshop will revisit learning for influenza, and other adult vaccinations to provide an annual immunisation update, with case studies and discussion to explore those difficult scenarios alongside a quiz assessment of knowledge and skills.
Delegates will have an opportunity to revisit competency frameworks and have access to all the necessary paperwork for safe and effective practice.
