Modification History

Release	Comments
Release 1	This version was released in HLT Health Training Package release 2.0 and meets the requirements of the 2012 Standards for Training Packages. Minimal changes to the elements and performance criteria. New evidence requirements for assessment including volume and frequency requirements.

Performance Evidence

The candidate must show evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit, manage tasks and manage contingencies in the context of the job role. There must be evidence that the candidate has:

supported the flow of 3 different clients, 1 in a simulated environment and 2 in the workplace, through a medical imaging unit

assisted 3 different clients, 1 in a simulated environment and 2 in the workplace, to follow required radiation and safety procedures

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must be able to demonstrate essential knowledge required to effectively complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit, manage tasks and manage contingencies in the context of the work role. This includes knowledge of:

awareness and understanding of requirements for those dispensing ionising radiation to hold a Use License with the appropriate authority in that state/territory

client issues that might affect the imaging process and how to respond within the organisation policies and protocols, including:

anxiety

confusion

hoist requirement

behaviours of concern

interpreter requirements

clothing requirements for imaging

Assessment Conditions

All aspects of the performance evidence must have been demonstrated using simulation prior to being demonstrated in a therapeutic workplace under direction and supervision (direct, indirect, remote) as determined by the medical imaging professional.

The following conditions must be met for this unit:

use of suitable facilities, equipment and resources, including:

medical imaging equipment and guidelines

radiation management plan

personal protective equipment

modelling of industry operating conditions and contingencies, including provision of services to real people

Assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
