  The Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and Berkshire West (BOB) Personalised Care Training team have launched a free, interactive training session to build discussion skills around vaccine hesitancy: Let’s Talk About Vaccines.

  The training explores the issues, myths and barriers around vaccine hesitancy, providing attendees with the techniques and approaches to help people make informed choices.

  Our Head of Ill Health Prevention, Alicia Siraj, has written an inspiring blog on the importance of this training, including attendees’ feedback (on the webpage link below).

  CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

  You may have seen the announcement by NHSE in regard to the upcoming autumn vaccination program. Due to a COVID-19 variant of concern the start date of the program has been brought forward to the Monday 11^th September.

  The ICB is working with providers to ensure all care homes have a dedicated provider to ensure full coverage. The provider may be a GP, pharmacy, or a hospital team.

  We ask that care home managers work with providers to accommodate clinics at pace, ensuring any family involvement if required, i.e., where power of attorney is in place, is supported prior to the vaccination visit date.

  All front-line health and social care staff are eligible for a vaccination - we have seen an increase in staff sickness across the system related to covid and would urge all staff to come forward for their vaccination. Staff can go to their GP, a participating pharmacy, or in some area's a hospital hub.

  Booking online via the National Booking Service will be available from Monday 18^th September.

  Should you have any questions or queries in relation to this, please email bobicb-bw.bob-carehome@nhs.net

  Thank you all for your continued support.
