Generally if you are a
Queensland Health Mental Health Clinician you are required to complete the
assessment to ensure you demonstrate competency in the area of practice.
If you are not in a clinical role, or it
is not relevant to your clinical practice to conduct assessments with consumers (e.g. a
risk assessment, Mental State Examination, or mental health assessment ) there
is no requirement that you complete the course assessment, however it is still
recommended as a measure of the effectiveness of learning and transfer of
skills. Ultimately this is a service decision so refer to your team leader or
local education strategy guidelines for advice.
Note: if you do not complete the assessment you
are not eligible to receive the Certificate of Achievement (or Statement of
Attainment for 10120NAT Course in Administering a Mental State Examination),
you can still however receive a Certificate of Attendance to acknowledge CPD
hours.
More information about assessment troubleshooting can be found below in the section titled Assessments. Alternatively please only contact the assessment team for questions related to your assessment.
