About the programme

Course Overview

Variation in immunisation and prevention programmes between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. In healthcare, a weakness in prevention programmes is eventually paid for by a patient. The version of this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The programme takes participants through immunisation and prevention programmes end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Where this part of health and pharmaceutical services is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of prevention programmes to standardise and which to leave flexible. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for immunisation and prevention programmes, not for observers of it. Participants test their assumptions about prevention programmes against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the health and pharmaceutical services capability that participants can repeat annually.
