Patient Group Directions (PGDs)

Lancashire and South Cumbria Immunisation PGDs

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has developed PGDs to facilitate the delivery of publicly funded immunisation in England in line with national recommendations.

Practitioners and organisations must check that they are using the current version of the PGD. Amendments may become necessary prior to the published expiry date.

The current versions of organisationally authorised and signed copies of immunisation PGDs are available to download here.

Enquiries relating to the availability of organisationally authorised PGDs and subsequent versions the PGDs should be directed to: england.nwsit@nhs.net for Lancashire, South Cumbria, Cheshire and Merseyside providers.
