This course is targeted at managers, team leaders, health and safety representatives and is required to met the Accident Compensation Corporation ACC accreditation for the Te Whatu Ora Te Tai Tokerau staff rehabilitation process.
This course is developed in partnership with Mahitahi Hauora Primary Health Entity and is for registered nurses working in the primary sector under standing orders.
The course provides theoretical preparation for Registered Nurses, issuers, practices and other providers to understand their requirements when developing and working with standing orders.
It does not provide the standing order/s. Standing orders are the responsibility of the practices/providers to develop alongside their issuer and provide education for those working under the standing orders and the standardisation of a process to capture in the PMS when a standing order is actioned. This is to support countersigning/audit requirements.
