Nurse immunisation learning pathway starting soon

Brisbane North PHN has partnered with The Benchmarque Group to offer an exciting new course in immunisation, tailored for primary care staff who administer immunisation as part of their day-to-day scope of practice.

The Course in Immunisation Practice in Primary Healthcare is designed to provide students (clinicians) with the specific knowledge and skills that will enable them to perform a range of comprehensive immunisation services and remain up-to-date with current programs, changes, and requirements relevant to their practice.

The Course in Immunisation Practice in Primary Healthcare consists of six individual programs that make up the immunisation learning pathway.

Successfully completing the pathway means you will have achieved the nationally accredited Course in Immunisation Practice in Primary Healthcare (10754NAT).

On completion of this program the health professional will be able to:

• understand the Legislative Act relevant to immunisation practice within the jurisdiction of practice
• apply fundamental elements of legislation, standards and codes for the administration of vaccines
• demonstrate knowledge of state or territory legislation relating to authorisation/endorsement
• qualify to complete the Immunisation Endorsement Program.

THE PROGRAMS INCLUDE:

• Immunisation Needs for Influenza (online program)
• Immunisation Needs in Pregnancy (online program)
• School Age Immunisation (online program)
