We have expanded our immunisation learning pathways to support anyone working in Primary Healthcare.
Immunisation Endorsement Pathway (Nurse Immuniser): HESA accredited course for students who are required to administer vaccinations independent of a Medical Officer.
Immunisation Clinical Pathway (Immunisation Practice): For students who are required to immunise under the observation of a medical officer as part of their scope of practice.
Immunisation Practice Support Pathway (Immunisation Support): For students who do not immunise as part of their scope of practice.
