A Popular Treatment, Done Properly
Vitamin B12 — usually given as cyanocobalamin or hydroxocobalamin — is essential for red blood cell formation, neurological function and DNA synthesis, and it supports the body’s energy metabolism. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption, bone health and normal immune function, and deficiency is common in the UK. Injections of either are used to treat and prevent deficiency, and are increasingly sought as wellness treatments by patients reporting tiredness and low energy. This course teaches you to deliver both safely and professionally: the right assessment, the right technique, and the documentation and aftercare that protect both you and the patient.
How the Day Works
01
Theory
Health and safety, consultation and consent, contra-indications, the pharmacology of B12 and vitamin D, and pre-care and aftercare — the knowledge that must sit behind every injection.
02
Practical
Supervised injection on real patients: a minimum of one patient per candidate in a group, or up to four patients per candidate in one-to-one tuition, with faculty guidance throughout.
03
Certificate & support
A CPD Certified certificate on completion, plus ongoing mentorship, advice and support from our faculty as you introduce these treatments into your own practice.

Who this course is for — and an important note on prescribing
This training is for practitioners working within their lawful scope of practice. Injectable vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin and hydroxocobalamin) and injectable vitamin D are Prescription-Only Medicines in the UK, so they must be prescribed by an appropriate prescriber or supplied under a valid Patient Group Direction. We will confirm your eligibility before booking — if you are unsure whether you can obtain and administer these in your setting, please ask us first.
Under the GMC, GDC, NMC and HCPC, CPD is self-directed and self-declared: you choose learning relevant to your scope of practice, and you record it. Your certificate gives you the evidence to do that. It is a record of training and assessment — it is not a regulated qualification, and it does not by itself establish your ongoing clinical competence.
CPD Certification
This course is CPD Certified by The CPD Certification Service (Member No. 7006). CPD Certification confirms that the course material meets recognised CPD standards and guidelines. It does not confirm the competence of any learner completing the course; competence is assessed by PHP Training Academy against its own assessment criteria.
