Background:
Increasing the
COVID-19 testing workforce is critical to managing current testing
demand, workforce sustainability as well as planning, preparedness and
capacity to respond to future outbreaks.
Registered nurses and
medical personnel have been the mainstay of the COVID-19 swabbing
workforce, with health care assistants often providing administrative
support at testing sites. Alternative health workforces can be trained
to undertake COVID-19 swabbing towards sustainable staffing for testing
sites, reducing the current over-reliance on registered nurses.
Careerforce
has developed an information and education module for COVID-19 testing.
This module is one element of the training process – the other two are
the practical training and a practical assessment to be carried out by
the employer.
Target Audience:
This module was developed for
the Kaiāwhina health workforce with prior experience in Public Health.
This module can also be used for the healthcare workers with higher
levels of qualification or experience such as allied health
professionals. Ultimately it is up to your employer’s discretion to
select the most appropriate health workforce.
Kaiāwhina is the
term used to describe non-registered roles in the health sector. This
may include healthcare assistants, support workers, community health
workers or Whanau support workers. Kaiāwhina add value to the workforce
by performing their roles well, being flexible and providing support to
the health sector and registered health professionals. (Workforce in Action, 2020)

On LearnOnline you can find learning resources related to the implementation of assisted dying in New Zealand. These have been created to help health professionals prepare for when assisted dying becomes available.
The End of Life Choice Act 2019 gives people who experience unbearable suffering from a terminal illness the option of legally asking for medical assistance to end their lives.
Assisted dying remains illegal until 7 November 2021. The Ministry of Health is working to implement the End of Life Choice Act.
More information about the implementation of assisted dying can be found on the Ministry’s website.
This is a directory page, which will link through to Ministry of health courses.
