FAQ

How long does the training take?

Generally speaking, each course runs for the following: Anaphylaxis Training - 3 hours Patient Deterioration - 2 hours Human Factors - 1 hours There are some variables that are dependent upon learner numbers
Will you travel to my practice / hospital for face to face training?

Absolutely! Face to face training is always our preferred training method. We are based in Cairns but can travel anywhere in Australia, however there will be additional costs of airfares and potentially accommodation in addition to the training fees. For this reason, it is generally only cost effective if there are 10+ Learners.
Do you run training over weekends and out of hours?

We do! It is understood the need to be flexible to ensure continuity of practice and no impact on patient care.
How much does the training cost?

Costs are variable depending on the number of learners per course, generally the more learners the lower the cost per learner. We also offer capped pricing for larger practices and departments. Please reach out via email or phone to discuss pricing for your specific needs.
Do you train just radiographers?

Not at all! we have experience in providing training to all those working in the medical imaging department. This includes, medical radiation practitioners, nursing staff, radiologists and allied health assistants. We tailor our training to ensure it is relevant and contextualised to the target audience.
Will I learn how to use an EpiPen?

Yes, the anaphylaxis training includes comprehensive education on how to use the two TGA approved adrenaline auto injectors, the EpiPen and the Anapen. We also provide familiarisation to our learners in the drawing up and administration of IM adrenaline from a vial so they can assist with any anaphylaxis response where autoinjectors are unavailable or exhausted.
Am I allowed to adminster adrenaline after the training?

The legalities around medical radiation practitioners (apart from Nuclear Medicine Technologists) administering adrenaline are complex and varies depending on your state or territory. The legalities surrounding the independent administration of adrenaline by MRP is discussed during the training.
