Contraceptive Implant (Implanon NXT) Education and Simulation Course - Online modules and live virtual simulation

Implanon NXT education and simulation practice at SHV consists of one hour and 30 minutes of online modules followed by 20 minutes of Implanon NXT insertion and removal simulation practice on model arms under supervision (via Zoom)

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 live virtual simulation session is provided 1:1 using simulation equipment posted to you. An experienced trainer who will observe your technique in real time and provide individualised feedback in the 20 minute zoom session. Simulation equipment will be provided with reply paid postage included in course costs.
 

Course content

The online modules will cover aspects such as:
  • Composition and mechanism of action
  • Efficacy
  • Side effects including bleeding patterns and guidance of management
  • Patient suitability, contraindications and medication interactions
  • Timing of initiation of contraception
  • Insertion procedure, including anatomical considerations
  • Removal procedure
  • Reinsertion procedures
  • Post procedure patient advice
  • Advice for complex implants such as deeply inserted implants
  • Expert tips

The simulation session will cover:
  • Implanon NXT insertion
  • Implanon NXT removal
  • Guidance and feedback on technique 
Online modules are required to be completed prior to attending the live virtual simulation practice session.

Interstate participants are welcome.

Simulation equipment for this course is provided by the manufacturer of Implanon NXT (Organon).

Participant Feedback 

"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
