This valuable training is designed for PCAs to improve their function in the health care team. Understanding the vulnerability of the older adult and identifying and protecting them from potential harm is a pivotal role of the PCA. The PCA will develop the skills and knowledge to safely care for the vulnerable person and have confidence in observing and accurately reporting findings for prompt action. Consumers, families, and managers will recognise and become reassured of the workforce’s capability to deliver safe, effective care. The course aligns with aged care quality indicators, standards, and national wound management standards.

The training is delivered by a Nurse Practitioner who is realistic and practical when educating and understanding the critical contribution PCAs bring to the vulnerable people in their care.
