Hi Sharon
The RCN and PHE have just published an Immunisation knowledge and skills competence assessment tool. I attach the tool which you may find useful.
Best regards
Karen

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Vaccination training
Hello All
I have been searching on JISC mail to try and ascertain what exactly is required to train nurses to give flu vaccinations. I was interested in some views that as a single shot vaccine the 2 day course was not relevant. I have checked the RCN guidance but again this is for multi vaccines so Im wondering if this would be required for a single shot campaign.
I manage an OH service which has around 700 health care staff based in dialysis clinics across the UK and Ireland. Obviously I cannot undertake these vaccinations myself due to the geography of the clinics however I have always been strongly in favour of having flu champions across the clinics.
Previous campaigns using vouchers and employees paying and claiming back have been hugely unsuccessful (around 6% uptake!)
So the organsiation has now agreed to looking at either getting a practitioner to visit the clinics but numbers are an issue, or training flu champions.
I would appreciate your advice on what others have done and what specific training is required?
thanks Sharon
