Core Curriculum for Immunisation Training

Synopsis

This document should be read in conjunction with the National Minimum Standards for Training.

The Core Curriculum lays out the essential core topics which should be incorporated into all immunisation training. It is intended that this be used as a minimum framework around which trainers can build their training programme.

It therefore does not dictate how immunisers should be taught or assessed since flexibility to incorporate local needs and existing training programmes is important.

Whilst suggestions are made as to assessment methods and minimum periods of clinical supervision, these are intended to be minimum guidelines only and decisions should be made by local immunisation teams both as to these and to course delivery.
