| Immunisation Workshop - Nurses Programme | |||
| Saturday, 12 June 2010 | Start 11:00am | Duration: 60mins | Southern Trust Sportsdrome |
Immunisation is one of the strongest evidence-based medical interventions we have. Despite this, NZ currently has mediocre immunisation coverage and reasons for this are a mixture of issues around access to services, systems and a general lack of community confidence in immunisation generally. However many practices can and do maintain high immunisation coverage rates in their childhood population. A crucial component is a confident provider.
This presentation will focus on the key issues and resources that are useful for us as GPs and PNs at the practice level dealing daily with immunisation systems issues and parental and community concerns.
