community services own skills development.
HLTPAT002: Students will be performing venepuncture with vacutainer, needle and syringe, and winged infusion set (Butterfly) collection methods.
Perform blood collection They will be role-playing patient episodes including: patient ID, completing referrals, looking up tests, following infection control policies
and procedures, performing the venepuncture and applying dressing, completing the episode with patient instructions and packaging
specimens for transport.
HLTPAT001: Students will be obtaining clinical and personal information during each patient episode to inform them of the risks that may be present
Identify and respond to clinical risks with each patient, they will assess pre-test criteria, select an appropriate venepuncture site based on underpinning knowledge of the
in pathology collection anatomy of the arm, monitor the patient for any adverse reactions during the patient episode, and follow emergency procedures and first
aid protocols as necessary.
HLTPAT004: Students will be receiving requests for collection of specimens other than blood including urine, faeces, breath tests and sputum, they will
Collect pathology specimens other be checking pre-test criteria, selecting the appropriate equipment, using appropriate PPE, giving patients verbal and written instructions,
than blood and labelling and storing specimens correctly.
HLTAAP001: Students will be developing their understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the human body throughout the course. In the
Recognise healthy body systems simulated workplace this will focus strongly on the cardiovascular system through performing venepuncture and ECG.
CHCCCS027: Students will use the home visit collection kit to perform client visits on a range of simulated environments that may include: visits to
Visit client residence patients’ homes, hospital inpatients, worksite visits, supported residential services, aged care facilities. This will involve preparation,
performing the visit, and follow up post visit.
HLTCAR001: Students will be performing complete ECG patient episodes in the simulated workplace. This will include patient ID, clear explanation of

Deliver a service to customers creating a relationship with customers, identifying their needs, delivering services or products and processing customer feedback.

How will you prepare for venepuncture practical sessions and assessment?
 As each method of venepuncture is introduced, an industry Expert will demonstrate and explain the procedure for every learner to watch and listen to.
 The learner will have the opportunity throughout the course to spend time in the simulated Blood collection centre performing practical skills associated with venepuncture.
 There is access to videos of all venepuncture methods through the USB and the All Health Training YouTube channel, and the written steps and explanations in their own
Venepuncture Logbook.
 The venepuncture logbook also has the learner reflect on each venepuncture preformed to constructively critique their own performance and promote continuous improvement of
technique.
 Each session in the laboratory there will be practice of skills and procedures that represent the roles and responsibilities you require to work as a pathology collector in a Blood
Collection environment.
 This practice will be supervised by Industry Experts working one-on-one with the learner to ensure maximum learning benefit and safety.
 These Industry Experts are all currently employed in the pathology industry, and will observe your procedures in a coaching capacity, recording your performance and providing
ongoing feedback to you.
 You will have the opportunity to comment on feedback given and develop constructive solutions not only with the industry experts; but with your front of room trainer as required.

How will you be assessed?

You will be observed by demonstrating practical skills progressing through the stages that collectively will make up a full client/patient episode. Your assessor will observe you and measure
your performance against the assessment criteria using observation checklists.
Final Assessment will involve processing a complete episode according to a pathology patient episode including: patient identification, performing the procedure accurately and successfully
completing the whole episode without prompting or direction from the industry experts. This will include post-collection processing of specimens including centrifuging and preparing samples
for the courier.

Definition of successful procedure:

The student follows established technical, infection control and safety procedures and collects blood suitable for testing using venous blood collection.
