An interactive learning resource designed to support equitable, accessible and person centred vaccination practice, strengthening health literacy, cultural competence, inclusive communication and the effective management of missed or incomplete vaccination histories to reduce health inequalities across Scotland
Inclusive Vaccination Practice: Addressing Health Inequalities in Scotland is a comprehensive Sway‑based learning resource developed by NHS Education for Scotland in collaboration with Public Health Scotland. It supports vaccinators and the wider healthcare workforce to deliver high‑quality, person‑centred vaccination services by exploring the key elements of inclusive practice.
The resource covers health literacy, cultural competence, accessibility, managing incomplete or unknown vaccination histories, and making every contact count. It also provides practical examples, action tips, and reflection points to help staff recognise and address barriers that contribute to unequal vaccine uptake. To view the complete learning resource, please open the Sway using the link provided.
