Note: Vitamin B12 injections are ‘Prescription only Medications’ (POMs) in the UK. This requires that a Vitamin B12 injection is prescribed by a registered prescriber. Anyone administering a Vitamin B12 injection should only do so under legal frameworks of delegation, such as a PGD or PSD.
Note: Although a Vitamin B12 injection is not an immunisation, the practical skills required and knowledge base required is in line with that of administering an immunisation. Therefore in order to administer Vitamin B12 injections, the training guidance in the national minimum standards for immunisation should be adopted for both non-registered professionals and registered professionals.
If you wish to be practically assessed on injection technique select the Vitamin B12 Injection Video Assessment add-on above.

The course was fine but absolutely no follow up help. No one replied to my questions following completion. Since this is a serious course, training people on the administration of a prescription drug, I’d have hoped for more.
