Why Attend?
Ensuring valid consent for immunisation is a legal and ethical requirement, in line current legislation, GMC and NMC prescribing guidelines, the NHS GMS contract and CQC. The UKHSA guidance clarifies who can seek consent, how it should be obtained, and the responsibilities of healthcare professionals under Patient Group Directions (PGDs), Written Instructions (WIs), and Patient Specific Directions (PSDs). Misunderstanding these principles can lead to compliance risks and compromise patient care.
This webinar delivered by the NEL Primary Care Nursing Team provides practice managers, practice nurses, HCA’s and GP’s with the opportunity to gain clarity on:
- What constitutes valid consent
- Roles and responsibilities under PGDs, WIs, and PSDs
- Best practices for informed consent and documentation
- How to handle consent for multi-dose courses and seasonal vaccines
- Training requirements for ALL vaccinators
Your role in safeguarding patient autonomy and meeting regulatory standards starts with understanding this guidance fully.
