Aim of the Workshop:
- To assist registered nurses to obtain the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills required to manage subcutaneous infusions in their own practice settings.
To attain certification each nurse is required to:
- Complete a pre-reading workbook before attending the workshop.
- Attend a two-hour workshop, during which a practical competency assessment will be completed.
- Complete a written test obtaining 80% minimum in the written component and 100% in the drug calculations.
Pre-reading workbooks are sent out approximately three weeks before the workshop.
Following successful completion of the workshop a Certificate of Attainment will be issued.
To maintain certification:
Nurses who have successfully completed the programme in previous years and wish to have their certificate updated need to attend an annual update during which their competencies will be tested.
