This course follows UKHSA and national immunisation guidance. To deliver RSV vaccination, clinicians must have completed a foundation immunisation training course, undertake supervised practice in their workplace, and should only administer immunisations independently when both they and their employer are confident in their competence.
This RSV short vaccine training course is part of the ‘Health Academy Short Course’ series and provides clinicians with specific information related to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and the RSV vaccines.
This RSV vaccine training course is suitable for all healthcare workers, including Nurses and Pharmacists who may administer this vaccine in practice.
Firstly, this is an interactive, and engaging online short course. We have therefore included all of the modules relevant to RSV and the RSV vaccines.
This RSV vaccine short course is online therefore assessment is a written multiple choice assessment.
This short RSV course will take approximately 60 minutes to complete.
Please also note that the UKHSA (formally Public Health England) recommend a period of supervised practice in addition to comprehensive foundations of immunisation training for new immunisers (PHE).
