Understanding UKHSA Guidance on Consent for Immunisation Webinar

Following the webinars delivered on Wednesday 21 January 2026 by the NEL Primary Care Nursing Team, we are sharing the key guidance discussed during the session. UKHSA has issued updated advice outlining which healthcare professionals can obtain informed consent for immunisation and how this should be appropriately sought, recorded, and reviewed throughout a vaccination course.

Attached are the full UKHSA guidance on consent to immunisation, the webinar slide deck, and additional NHSE operational guidance. Together, these resources provide clear direction on roles and responsibilities in the consent process and offer practical support to ensure safe and compliant vaccination delivery across practices. Teams are encouraged to review the documents to support local implementation
