New Procedures added to ClinicalSkills.net!

Message from ClinicalSkills.net about new procedures added to the resource:

We've recently loaded three new procedures to clinicalskills.net. They're all in the Primary Care section; two are in the category Contraception and the third is in the category Sexual Health. They are:

• Checking the threads of an intrauterine contraceptive device;
• Giving a contraceptive injection; and
• Taking female genital swabs. 

These procedures have all been demonstrated by our authors Melanie Rogers, Senior Lecturer/Advanced Nurse Practitioner (Primary Care) at the University of Huddersfield, and Emma Fawcett, Cervical Screening Mentor/Coordinator, NHS Kirklees, Calderdale and Wakefield.

Please check out the new procedures and let relevant colleagues know about them! As always, we are very happy to hear any feedback about our procedures--just click on the black Feedback button on the right-hand side of the screen to get in touch with us.

We'll be in touch again about more primary care procedures very shortly.  

Remember:
You can access ClinicalSkills.net direct from the Trust intranet (search library resources) or off-site at www.clinicalskills.net with an OpenAthens account.
