These workshops are aimed at established practitioners - update your knowledge in Cervical Screening, Immunisation and Vaccination and Non-medical Prescribing. Our informative and interactive study days will incorporate any recent changes and highlight their impact in practice.
Cancer of the cervix is a potentially preventable disease and early detection and treatment may reduce the need for invasive surgery. With increased knowledge, skills and understanding of cervical diseases, you will be able to contribute to the overall success of the screening programme by undertaking effective cervical screening, enabling rapid referral and treatment.
This workshop provides an overview of the aims of immunisation, maintenance of the cold chain, types of vaccines, promoting uptake, new developments, consent/legal issues and anaphylaxis management.
You will be emailed a pre-course booklet with links to relevant information, in accordance with the Health Protection Agency recommendations.
