Health Assessments
Health Assessments in the Primary Health Care Setting
Our Health Assessment module takes you through each of the Health Assessments available under the Medicare Benefits Schedule in Australia. Great for the whole Practice Team: Reception, Practice Managers, GPs, Nurses and Aboriginal Health Workers/Practitioners. We'll finish off with some Case Studies and Quiz Questions to test your knowledge.
