Please note clinical placements are available on Tuesday afternoon only at our Melbourne city clinic and Wednesday afternoon only at our Box Hill clinics.

Course Overview

For further information or any questions regarding the suitability of previous education, please contact: clinicaleducation@shvic.org.au  

Please note that this is not a competency-based certification course.The Implanon NXT Training Recommendations for Health Care Professionals in Australia, highly recommend that theory education is followed, within a reasonable timeframe, by performing insertion and removal of Implanon NXT in a patient. This will consolidate skills learnt. Sexual Health Victoria aim to support those without convenient access to supervision within their workplace.

Outcomes

Participants who register and successfully demonstrate the development of safe clinical practice in Implanon NXT insertion and removal, will receive a certificate of completion for Implanon NXT clinical placement from Sexual Health Victoria.
