Blackmores Complementary Medicines Course

For more than 70 years Blackmores has researched, developed and marketed a range of healthcare products based on vitamins, minerals, herbs and nutrients.  The one day course provides an overview of common complementary medicines encountered in pharmacy practice and their role in healthcare management alongside established pharmacotherapeutic practices.  An Advanced Complementary Medicines Course was trialled last year through other state branches and has proved successful.  It is anticipated that this will be available nationally to all state branches as of this year.

 


  

Stitches First Aid Course

HLTFA402B Apply Advanced First Aid
Workplace Level 3

You will be able to provide advanced first aid response, life support, management of casualty(s), the incident and other first aiders as well as support to other providers. Competency includes Advanced Resuscitation techniques, AED, oxygen administration, and anaphylaxis management.

This unit specifies the outcomes required to provide first aid in a range of settings to manage the incident and response, and communicate with others involved in the treatment or response.

This unit covers the application of skills and knowledge in an emergency in the workplace or home where first aid treatment options are applied. It is about assessing the situation, providing first aid to the casualty, coordinating first aid until arrival of medical assistance, communicating details of the incident to others involved in treatment, and evaluating the incident after the event to learn from the situation activities.






Johnson & Johnson

Johnson & Johnson provide students with education on over the counter medications. This ranges from upper respiratory tract infections, digestive health, smoking cessation and many more. It provides the students with a solid basis for patient decision making and a great way to match a product with an active ingredient. This is a new initiative and we are looking to offer it to both 1st and 2nd year students.
