Vaccination / Immunisation Anaphylaxis and BLS Practical Workshops

Practical workshops: vaccination techniques, anaphylaxis and BLS *Various dates across UK*

This accredited half day workshop will enable you to develop the practical skills required to vaccinate both adults and children against influenza (the ‘flu’) and other illnesses.

• You will be trained to recognise and manage anaphylaxis and how to perform basic life support (adults and paediatrics).
• However, the theory of paediatric BLS and choking (both) will be covered in eLearning only. There will also be a short trainer-led demonstration during the practical workshop.

As this is a practical workshop we strongly recommend that you complete any relevant eLearning before you attend at the workshop

During the practical workshop, all delegates will have their vaccination technique (IM and S/C) observed by the specialist trainer.

In line with national guidelines we recommend that all delegates who are new to immunisation undertake a period of supervised competency assessment in your clinical area. We can provide a competency framework to assist this process.

• Target audience: nurses, health care assistants, pharmacists and other registered health care staff involved in vaccination / immunisation. Please note: this training does not cover the role of an HCA or process of delegating the task. Currently this must be done at a local / organisational level.
• Level: suitable for those new to vaccination (as part of a blended programme) as well as those requiring an update.
