Free training for vaccination staff and volunteers

It’s essential that everyone who comes for a vaccine feels safe, supported and understood. The Royal National Institute of Blind (RNIB) people have free training available to staff and volunteers working on the vaccine programme to help you feel more confident in supporting people with sight loss. You can pick from three short online training modules covering communication, how to guide, and the experiences of people with sight loss, relevant to your time in the vaccination programme and beyond. Simply visit https://www.enetlearn.com/vaccinesupport and click the “register” button to access the training. If you don’t have much time, you can download a quick “handy tips” document for working with people with sight loss and display it in staff areas of your vaccination centre.
