Contraceptive Implant (Implanon NXT) Education and Simulation- Online modules and onsite simulation
Implanon NXT education and simulation practice at SHV consists of one hour and 30 minutes of online modules followed by 30 minutes of Implanon NXT insertion and removal simulation practice on model arms under supervision onsite. It is run by experienced Implanon NXT clinical educators.
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.
