CRANAplus Mirii (Star) – a Course for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners/Workers in Darwin

CRANAplus Mirii (Star) – a Course for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners/Workers in Darwin

If you are an Aboriginal Health Worker or Practitioner looking to upskill in the use of local clinical care manuals and guidelines to respond to common patient presentations, then Mirii is for you.

This CRANAplus two and a half day course is designed with plenty of opportunities for participants to develop and practice their clinical skills.   Both chronic and acute disease presentations will be covered in a simulated environment which will include skills stations under the guidance of highly experienced instructors.

The practical scenarios will include common clinic presentations in a remote health setting:

  1. A basic famil­iari­sa­tion of local man­u­als (CARPA, PCCM), and using them to per­form a med­ical con­sul­ta­tion and access the cor­rect treat­ment protocol.
  2. Describ­ing and using a sys­tem­at­ic patient assess­ment approach using Pri­ma­ry and Sec­ondary Sur­vey and the local man­u­al guidelines.
  3. Under­stand­ing the impor­tance of good clin­i­cal doc­u­men­ta­tion, ver­bal and writ­ten han­dover and being able to refer patients appropriately.
