Delivering the English immunisation programme – survey response dataset

Abstract

An anonymised dataset containing results of an online survey completed by 278 health practitioners in 2016. The online survey sought to assess how the national immunisation programme (specifically Section 7a immunisation programmes) was being delivered across different regions of England. The dataset contains variables on the respondent’s professional background, individual and organisational responsibility for immunisation, levels of co-operation between partner organisations to manage and deliver the immunisation programme, and what is being done to monitor and improve the performance of immunisation services (e.g. quality and uptake).The survey forms part of a long-term analysis of how the national immunisation programme is managed and delivered in the post-April 2013 health system. It is was conducted by the ‘Health Protection Research Unit (HPRU) in Immunisation’, which includes researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Public Health England. The unit is funded by the National Institute of Health Research
