Overview
This market-leading text supports the beginning learner by describing the knowledge and skills required to work towards a Certificate III in Health Services Assistance (Assisting in Nursing Work in Acute Care). Each chapter identifies the scope of practice and range of activities that can be undertaken when working in an Acute Care setting. The skills and knowledge required for the effective delivery of care, with examples, are detailed throughout the text, with the capacity for the learner to self-assess and to use knowledge learnt through the ‘Apply your knowledge’ feature at the end of each chapter. Health Services Assistance is the only comprehensive, local standalone text that directly aligns to the qualification HLT33115. Additional NEW units in this third edition extend the core to align with the Certificate III Allied Health Assistant requirement, for a mixed cohort. Using this text enables students to meet high standards of patient-focused care and provides teachers and facilitators with tools to support students throughout their learning journey.
Premium online teaching and learning tools are available on the MindTap platform.
