NHS England eLearning for healthcare (NHSE elfh) has worked with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to update the Flu Immunisation eLearning programme to ensure it is up-to-date for the 2024 to 2025 flu season.
The eLearning course consists of 3 knowledge sessions and 3 assessment sessions.
This toolkit has been developed in collaboration with training hubs across the Midlands, internal WTE team and lead GPNs across the midlands to support and help GPNs, lead GPNs and training hubs who are giving advice and are in a supportive role. The toolkit highlights already established pieces of leadership work across the country and draws on e-learning, podcasts and activities already created.
The evolving role of the General Practice Nurse (GPN) with specialist knowledge and skills is pivotal in contributing to the success of the transformation of primary care services. The QNI has therefore drawn up new Voluntary Standards for nurses new to General Practice Nursing as well as separate Voluntary Standards for senior General Practice Nurses.
