The Practice will need to identify a Nurse Mentor, who will agree to supervise , and support the HCA, until deemed competent, and sign off, after observation of a number of Immunisations.
Course Aim: To equip Health Care Assistants with the latest guidance on the national immunisation programmes, and raise awareness to available resources to respond to the challenges encountered in Primary Care whilst delivering adult immunisations. The National Minimum Standards for Immunisation Training (HPA 2005) recommends an initial 2 day course for all staff involved in immunisation.
