Flu 2025/26 Practical Workshop – Face-to-Face

Description

Health Academy are pleased to offer a series of practical face-to-face flu training workshops in various locations throughout the country. These workshops will allow immunisers to be compliant with practical immunisation skills in line with NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE&I) guidelines. 

Who are these face-to-face flu training workshops suitable for?

These face-to-face flu training workshops are perfect for both new and experienced immunisers. If you’re an experienced immunising pharmacist, nurse, or healthcare support worker, this course will help you update and refresh your immunisation skills. Completing the course will also ensure you comply with the practical immunisation update guidelines set by NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE&I). This course is also suitable for Pharmacy Technicians.
