Description

Clinical placements run on Wednesday afternoons at our Box Hill clinic.

You have (6) months from the date of registering for this course to book your clinical placement.

Course Overview

This half-day placement offers clinicians, who have completed the Implanon NXT education and simulation course within the last 12 months, the opportunity for hands-on practice in the insertion and removal of the Implanon NXT contraceptive device, with support from experienced clinical staff. 

For further information or any questions regarding the suitability of previous education, please contact: [email protected] 

Please note that this is not a competency-based certification course. The Implanon NXT Training Recommendations for Health Care Professionals in Australia, highly recommend that theory education is followed, within a reasonable timeframe, by performing insertion and removal of Implanon NXT in a patient. This will consolidate skills learnt. Sexual Health Victoria aim to support those without convenient access to supervision within their workplace.

Eligibility

AHPRA registration as a doctor, registered nurse or midwife.
Completion of the Implanon NXT education and simulation course at Sexual Health Victoria or proof of completion of a course structured at the same level as this course. Please note: if you have attended Implanon NXT education at an organisation other than Sexual Health Victoria, this education must include simulation training.
It is a requirement that Implanon NXT education and simulation was completed within 12 months of registration for placement with us.

To attend clinical placements doctors must be registered without any limitation, restriction or conditions that restrict practice at SHV. Doctors with limited registration (for example limited to a specific clinic and/or supervisor) will need to apply to AHPRA Medical Board to request a change in circumstances for upskilling and CPD to practice at SHV. Evidence of approval to practice at SHV will need to be provided before placements can start. Please contact [email protected] before registering for the course to receive further information.

You may be eligible for an AUSLARC scholarship for this course. For more information please see srha.org.au/auslarc

Outcomes

Participants who register and successfully demonstrate the development of safe clinical practice in Implanon NXT insertion and removal, will receive a certificate of completion for Implanon NXT clinical placement from Sexual Health Victoria. 

Please note that while this is not a formal clinical competency course, Sexual Health Victoria reserves the right to withhold the certificate, if any concerns about the safe practice of these skills arise during your placement.
