The primary care immunisation update webinar series is a training resource developed and provided by UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) London Health Protection Team and funded by NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSEI) London. The webinars are presented by Helen Donovan, Independent Nurse Consultant and immunisation specialist, and Pauline MacDonald, Independent Nurse Consultant and immunisation specialist.

Although originally developed for and delivered to immunisers in London, recordings of the webinars or slidesets used are now being made available to immunisers more widely to support access to online update training. Maintaining a well-trained work force is essential to the success of the UK immunisation programme.

This series of webinars is designed to help immunisers revise and update their knowledge of key areas in immunisation. They are intended as updates for those already immunising, not as foundation training for new immunisers.

Each webinar focuses on a specific topic and lasts from 25 to 30 minutes. The programme for 2023 and 2024 will consist of various topics focused on the learning needs of immunisers in primary care.

How to use the recordings

Choose the topic you wish to view and access the video, and the associated PDF of the slides used in the presentation, via the webinar links provided below.

Please note the webinars are recorded monthly and are correct at the time of publication. Current guidance should always be followed by using the online resources referred and linked to in the presentations.

Resources referred to in the webinar are presented as hyperlinks in the slide set. Once you have viewed the recording, you can access these resources, undertake further reading, reflect on your learning or share your learnings within your workplace.

Certification

Certificates are not provided for this type of self-directed learning. However, reflection on your learning from viewing the webinar and any further reading, along with how much time this took, can be recorded using tools such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) reflective accounts form.

These are valid records of learning and can be used as part of your continuing professional development and appraisal.
