NHS Education for Scotland (NES), in partnership with PHS, has developed a variety of workforce education resources to support the Scottish Vaccination and Immunisation Programme (SVIP).

These resources, available on Turas Learn, will be of interest to practitioners whose remit includes immunisation, whether administration or giving advice.

Promoting Effective Immunisation Practice (PEIP) is a learning programme aiming to help enable healthcare practitioners to promote and administer vaccinations confidently, competently and effectively.

This is in addition to vaccine-specific learning and learning to help support vaccination practice, such as:

• injection techniques
• informed consent
• supporting those who experience procedural distress or anxiety
• improving vaccine confidence

The learning resources available are updated and added to regularly to ensure that they continue to reflect current practice.

For example, resources to help support practitioners involved with travel health and NHS travel vaccine provision.

In practice there may be workforce groups with specific roles and responsibilities, such as midwives.

Learner pathways are available to support practitioners to identify the learning suitable to their needs. Proficiency assessment tools are available for use locally with support and supervision.
