Foundation Immunisation Course for Registered Healthcare Professionals – Accredited Two‑Day Training
This accredited two‑day Foundation Immunisation Course provides registered healthcare professionals with essential, up‑to‑date evidence, national guidance and practical skills for safe and effective immunisation practice. Moreover, the programme is designed specifically for clinicians new to immunisation, offering a clear introduction to core knowledge, clinical techniques and underpinning research that supports confident, competent vaccine delivery.
Additionally, delegates explore national policy, vaccine types, immunology principles, documentation standards and anaphylaxis management. The course also covers administration techniques, PGDs, PSDs, the national immunisation schedule and incomplete vaccination pathways. Consequently, participants gain stronger clarity on how to deliver safe, structured and compliant immunisations across all age groups.
Across two structured days, the course blends theory with practical learning. Furthermore, delegates receive a workbook before training, supporting preparation and reinforcing key concepts. A period of supervised practice is required after the course, allowing learners to consolidate skills and achieve full sign‑off before independent immunising. This approach ensures safe, confident and evidence‑based vaccine delivery in busy primary care environments.
