Assignment Task
This assessment requires you to create and deliver a health education presentation to your colleagues in rural practice through an in-service style of delivery. Being able to educate your colleagues is a key activity for both best practice and continuing professional development.
Please refer to the Instructions for details on how to complete this task.
Context
Nurses working in isolated practices require sound knowledge of theory and clinical practice skills to provide acute and chronic health care in these contexts. The Health Education Presentation will assess your application of these skills and knowledge using different case scenarios where first line interventional skills are used.
