Option 2
Participants complete a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment in HLTHPS006 Assist Clients with Medications. This option requires participants to complete all assessment requirements. Participants seeking a Statement of Attainment must have access to a suitably qualified workplace supervisor (i.e. Registered Nurse, Enrolled Nurse) who will verify competency prior to completing the short course.
