Information for Students
Reach will provide you with the necessary practical experience you need for your qualification. You will be supervised by fully qualified registered nurses, conducting health checks. Further down the track you will also run workshops to promote a healthy lifestyle.
This unique opportunity means that you will be giving back to the community while you study as well as gaining valuable skills and experiences.
Preparing you
Before we take you out into the community to conduct health screening checks, your ‘reach’ facilitators will work closely with you in a structured clinical simulated education setting.
The aim of simulation is to provide you with the opportunity to increase your competence and confidence in clinical skills such as:
- History taking
- Communication skills
- Vital signs
- Blood Glucose Levels
- Cholesterol levels
- Girth measurement
An important aspect of clinical simulation will be taking part in debriefing sessions with facilitators and fellow students. These sessions will help you to improve your skills, raise queries and voice concerns in a structured and supportive environment.
