Learn how to correctly administer B12 injections

Emagister offers you a new course perfect for health care assistants and nurses: the B12 Injections Training, endorsed by Annie Barr International.

This training course provides delegates with an understanding of B12 deficiency and pernicious anaemia and the skills required to give B12 injections.

You will follow a B12 Injections Patient Specific Direction Protocol and a competence-based framework to work towards competence in giving B12 injections in their place of work under the supervision of a mentor. This is a one-day course: you arrive at the venue for registration at 9.30am and the training will take place from 10.00am - 4.00pm.

This B12 injection training has a recommendation rate of over 98% and is accredited by the Royal College of General Practitioners. On completion, you will receive a certificate of attendance and 6 CPD points.

All Annie Barr Associates clinical courses are led by trainers who are qualified healthcare professionals with a wealth of clinical and teaching experience. Non-clinical courses are delivered by suitably qualified and experienced professionals who are experts on the subject matter.


If you are interested in learning more don’t hesitate to contact Annie Barr International through Emagister.co.uk.

About this course

- Fully understand the principles and practice relating to B12 deficiency and B12 injections
- Understand the safety issues related to giving injections of the general adult population
- Understand the law relating to practice, accountability and prescribing

- Health Care Assistants
- Nurses

Delegates will be provided with a competence-based framework and materials to take back to their place of work, however will not be signed off as competent in the training session. We therefore recommend that delegates are in a place of work (or soon plan to be in a place of work) in which they will have access to a mentor that are themselves competent in this clinical skill to assess their competence.

A certificate of Attendance is awarded with CPD points (Free)
This course is Accredited by One Awards (NOCN). An accredited certificate is available at a cost of £25

The course covers B12 deficiency, pernicious anaemia, diagnosis, treatment and management. It also covers sign and symptoms of anaemia. You will review inclusion and exclusion criteria and identification of appropriate patients. Delegates will get the opportunity to review practice with hands on practical demonstrations of how to give injections correctly. It also covers administration techniques, where to give the injections and record keeping / documentation.

Hi I think it’s best if you query this with a training school who offers vit B12 training. The champagne for you after training may be to get a prescriber to prescribe for you. I am a nurse prescriber and my insurance does not cover providing prescriptions for dental nurses.

There is not a restriction on the course however, if your intention is to administer B12 then you need to have indemnity, a prescriber and someone to supervise you. So what I am saying is- for your own knowledge and benefit to gain understanding of this subject you can do the course. But if you wish ...

It really depends on what qualifications you have, insurance and indemnity and whether you are working with someone who can prescribe this for you or not. Its best to check these out before before booking.

No but you need a prescriber.

Theres no qualifications as such needed, however you do need to have a registered prescribe working with you, you will require competency assessment by a registered health care professional who is competent at IM injections. It would be best to call me to discuss.
