Description

Course Overview

This course is designed to deliver high-quality Implanon NXT training in an efficient way.

Online modules (1.5 hours) include all key aspects of Implanon NXT theory including videos demonstrating positioning the patient, marking the insertion site, inserting and removing Implanon NXT and a demonstration of the simulation technique. The onsite simulation session (30 minutes) will be run in a small group with an experienced trainer who will observe your technique in real-time and provide individualised feedback.

Please select only one session.
You are only required onsite to attend the 30-minute simulation practice. Once complete you are able to leave.
