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.

Level 2: Course in Immunisation Practice in Primary Healthcare
In response to COVID-19 and the ongoing challenges for students to undertake clinical practice in a 3rd party workplace, we have introduced the option for students to complete either a workplace activity or complete observed skills practice. The observed practice can be completed in a virtual setting or in simulated workplace conditions.
There are currently 7 assessments that require students to complete workplace based observed activity. For each of these 7 assessments, we have created an alternate method for the assessment to be completed and for evidence to be uploaded into accessIQ.
Please see the table below for more detail:
