Syringe Driver Competency - Theory Training
The theory component of the Syringe Driver Training must be completed online through Ko Awatea LEARN prior to attending a practical session. When staff are completing the online Syringe Driver Competency Programme through Ko Awatea for the first time they will complete both the Competency course and the Niki-T34 course and bring both certificates to the Arohanui Hospice practical session.
For all future practical sessions those staff only need to complete the Competency course. The Niki T34 course is a one-off for initial competency assessment only.
