Level 2: Course in Immunisation Practice in Primary Healthcare

In response to COVID-19 and the ongoing challenges for students to undertake clinical practice in a 3rd party workplace, we have introduced the option for students to complete either a workplace activity or complete observed skills practice. The observed practice can be completed in a virtual setting or in simulated workplace conditions.

There are currently 7 assessments that require students to complete workplace based observed activity. For each of these 7 assessments, we have created an alternate method for the assessment to be completed and for evidence to be uploaded into accessIQ.

Please see the table below for more detail:
