Activity aim
This clinical audit seeks to improve vaccination protection for RSV in older people, with a specific focus on patients who are at increased risk of RSV-related complications due to comorbid conditions they may have. It will involve the review of five patients either through active recall or as part of a routine health check, at which point the GP will work through a practice checklist with recommendations relevant to the individual patient.
Why take part in this program?
- Conduct follow-up consultations with 5 patients over 60 years of age, who have not received RSV vaccination in the past two years, and/or the need for revaccination has not been established.
- Earn 6.5 CPD hours upon completion.
