Training site orientation

Orientation to the training site

When you start a new placement, your designated supervisor or training site team member should give you an orientation to the site, including:

• introducing you to all members of staff
• teaching you how to use training site systems
• explaining where to find relevant resources, including reference materials, medications and equipment
• explaining relevant policies, procedures and processes in the training site, such as referral, admission to hospital, after-hours arrangements, follow-up of patients, sterilisation, prescribing Schedule 8 medications and disposal of waste.
