                                                      Participants will receive a certificate of attendance for Implanon NXT education and simulation. This training meets the required standards for Implanon NXT training in Australia and the certificate can be used as evidence that the required training has been completed. 

                                                      Upon completion of this training, clinicians who have not performed insertion and removal of Implanon NXT or similar procedures on live patients may wish to seek supervision in a clinical environment. Following training, each healthcare professional must exercise their own professional judgment to assess their competence prior to performing any insertion or removal procedure (as with all medical procedures).

                                                      "The online simulation was so helpful and saved me a lot of travel time. All aspects were very well organised."— Course participant

                                                      "Real time feedback on my technique for insertion & removal was very useful and great for troubleshooting."— Course participant

                                                      Attending theory firstly and then having one on one for simulation which allowed the chance for questions and further discussion made this a really effective and enjoyable course.— Course participant
