Our Health Network Collective R&D partner, HooperNewton.com, are developing an online micro-credential for Point of Care Testing (POCT), linking to care and navigating treatment to possible cure and beyond. This is designed for our Kaiawhina, peers and non-regulated workforce.
Designed from thematic analysis (click link for live view of survey analysis) of Masters level research and survey (click survey link for survey) the 50 hour course of 6 sections and 42 lessons includes medical ethics, social responsibilities, personal safety, patient rights, basic hygiene, procedures and more. Our thematic analysis suggested that non-regulated work force, and many kaiawhina and peers, had limited awareness of such subjects in sufficient detail. In the interest of our communities, and the individuals and organisations Health Network Collective intends to engage with and enable: we decided a more comprehensive approach to training would benefit all and assist in meeting legal, ethical and moral requirements globally. Health Network Collective is in the process to gain New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) equivalency endorsement for this micro-credential.
