Multiple-choice assessment
Yes, you will receive a certificate on successful completion of the course.

This course aligns with UK travel health and immunisation guidance. However, clinicians must complete supervised practice in their workplace and should only deliver Cholera vaccinations independently when both they and their employer are confident in their competence.
This is part of the ‘Health Academy Short Course’ series and provides clinicians with specific information related to Cholera and the Cholera vaccines available in the UK.
This course is suitable for all Registered Healthcare Professionals, including Nurses, Pharmacists and GPs that administer the vaccines in practice.
This ‘Short Course’ will take approximately 60 minutes to complete.

Just completed the short Cholera course. Excellent! Quick to do, lots of useful information presented in a clear, concise, easy to digest format. The mixture of videos, tasks, photos, diagrams and text conveyed all aspects of cholera in a stimulating and memorable way. Having known little about cholera before, I now feel far more confident about giving advice to future travellers. Definitely recommend.
