Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AHCWRK603 - Design and conduct a field-based research trial

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Design the trial

  1. Identify problems and opportunities that support undertaking a trial and define the trial subject and projected outcomes as required by enterprise guidelines, market research, client requirements, cost analysis and cost benefits to the enterprise
  2. Undertake research into available evidence to establish the performance criteria of the subject, product or treatment to be trialled and the trial design
  3. Locate trial sites according to trial design requirements and enterprise capabilities and identify site factors and incorporate into the trial design
  4. Identify and obtain approvals and permits required to conduct the trial
  5. Establish data collection and recording specifications according to the trial design and follow proper conventions and controls to satisfy statistical audit requirements and eliminate variables according to sound clinical practice
