âScandalous vaccine training made me feel like quitting says medic A RETIRED nurse and doctor have told of the scandalous training schedule they faced in order to help out in the Covid vaccination drive - before a sudden Government U-turn finally cleared the way. Nurse Nicola Joy-Smith said she had felt like throwing in the towel because of frustration at the lengthy processes, particularly the reams of certificated training required. Dr Frances Baker said they had faced having to work their way through 31 modules, including preventing radicalisation and safeguarding children - even though children aren’t being vaccinated. Nicola, who lives in York, said she felt it was scandalous that professionally qualified health professionals were having to go through so many hoops to become vaccinators, especially when they heard it was the intention to train up people who were unqualified to do the same work.
