This course aims to prepare Health Care Assistants (HCA) for an advanced role within the dialysis setting, primarily with regard to commencing and discontinuing haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. They will have the opportunity to develop and evaluate specialist renal skills and knowledge in order to deliver high quality care to their patients.
You will be provided with an identified assessor and supervisor within your clinical setting who will be responsible for assisting you to complete the competency assessment document, and providing practice support. It is important that you take responsibility towards your learning in ensuring that you work together with your identified supervisor as least once a week during the programme. This ensures regular, structured and progressive learning and development.
Application of knowledge and skills to your own ward/haemodialysis setting and the development of clinical knowledge will be continuously assessed by use of a clinical competency document. This specifies core and optional competencies, which are required to be achieved during the course to the identified standard.
Please fill out the form below to register for the course. We will be in touch with further information.
