Friday Workshops

WORKSHOP A:
LARC tRAIN-THE-TRAINER
8.30AM - 5.00PM

REGISTRATIONS NOW CLOSED FOR THIS WORKSHOP

There is a strong demand for LARC training across Aotearoa. To help meet this need, the New Zealand College of Sexual and Reproductive Health are providing LARC 'Train the trainer' courses for health practitioners who are already competent in LARC procedures, as per the Long-Acting Reversible Contraception: Health Practitioner Training Principles and Standards, and who want to train others.

This is a full day course focused on the skills needed to provide LARC training to other health practitioners in a clinical setting.

We welcome all health practitioners including nurses, nurse practitioners, doctors and midwives from across the motu to attend. Health practitioners can choose to become a LARC trainer in one type of LARC procedure, or more than one (IUC, Jadelle insertion, Jadelle removal).  Full details of the course are available on the NZCSRH website https://nzcsrh.org.nz/Train-the-Trainer-course/10934/

NZCSRH is contracted by Health New Zealand to provide long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) training support.  LARCs are the most modern and effective reversible forms of contraception.  The aim of this initiative is to increase workforce capability in primary care and improve access to LARCs.
