About the Programme: JITSUVAX is an EU Horizon 2020 funded global project coordinated by the University of Bristol, which investigates vaccine confidence among healthprofessionals and provides evidence based training to improve confidence and competence when having vaccine conversations. Training includes motivational interviewing to address hesitancy and dispel myths and misinformation. Further information can be found through their website Welcome – Jitsuvax the attached flyers and module syllabus.
Two training options are available:
- 90-minute one off interview training workshop aimed at improving confidence and competence in approaching vaccine conversations through building knowledge about motivating factors for vaccination concerns, communication skills and skills to effectively refute vaccine-related misconceptions.
- 2-day train-the-trainer workshop to support health professionals to train their colleagues to improve confidence and competence in vaccine conversations. The course will include understanding the background as to how the 90 minute sessions are developed, practical work including how to plan and deliver the training.
