This course equips students with the essential knowledge and skills to confirm collection requirements\, prepare the client and equipment\, and perform routine blood collections in a clinical setting. \n\n\n\nYour assessment journey includes theoretical content\, diverse assessment questions—ranging from multiple choice to interactive questions and answers—and a practical workplace activity involving the completion of blood collection procedures. There is a mandatory requirement to complete a minimum of 15 different successful blood draws in your workplace or at a facility with which you have a mentoring arrangement. \n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes \n\n\n\n\nIdentify and obtain clinical and personal relevant data for blood collection\n\n\n\nChoose the appropriate equipment for blood collection\n\n\n\nPerform the blood collection procedure\n\n\n\nDiscuss the considerations that influence the correct selection of blood collection equipment including size and type of needle and collection site\n\n\n\nPerform post blood collection procedures including patient care\, documentation and follow up\n\n\n\nTrouble shoot problems\n\n\n\nDiscuss and manage possible complications\n\n\n\n\nRegister early as places are limited and will fill quickly. \n\n\n\nFor further information\, please visit Blood Collection Courses | The Benchmarque Group

SUMMARY:Hepatitis C Community of Practice Working with Homeless Populations
DESCRIPTION:Date\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by the Victorian HIV and Hepatitis Integrated Training and Learning program\, this Hepatitis C Community of Practice session is intended to support the alcohol and other drugs workforce with the opportunity to bring case based studies for discussion and mutual learning.  \n\n\n\nThis peer learning approach enhances the practice of AOD workers to recognise those who may be living with or at risk of HCV and supporting them onto the care pathway\, particularly if they are disengaged with traditional health care services.  \n\n\n\nLinking attendees with expert knowledge in point of care testing\, prison settings\, nurse led models of care and community facing support services\, the Community of Practice aims to support the elimination of Hepatitis C in Victoria.
