CLNP5009: Neurophysiology Professional Practice
2023 unit information
This unit will provide students with a grounding in the essential skills required for neurophysiology scientists to deliver high quality, safe and ethical care to their patients. Students will develop critical thinking and problem solving skills for a diverse range of scenarios which they may encounter within a clinical neurophysiology setting. Key ethical concepts and methods of ethical analysis, communication, quality control methodology, workplace health and safety, risk management and teaching skills required for effective work within the field will be discussed with a specific focus on their relationship to neurophysiological testing in both a clinical and intraoperative environment. Students with no neurophysiology workplace experience should undertake this unit towards the end of their course.
