Case Study: Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust achieves over 80% flu vaccine uptake with NHS Employers

Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - Customer Case Study

The customer, Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, worked with the vendor NHS Employers to improve the accessibility of its staff flu vaccination program and achieve a high uptake rate.

NHS Employers' solution involved the trust's occupational health team proactively visiting all wards and departments to determine the best times for vaccinations, then scheduling mobile clinics accordingly to fit around staff availability. This approach, which included offering vaccinations during lunchtimes and at meetings, enabled the trust to maintain a consistently high flu vaccine uptake of over 80 per cent for two consecutive years.
