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!

Manage evacuation support

Evacuation planning factors are taken into consideration when planning and compiling an evacuation task order
Evacuation assets are maintained in a state of high readiness to respond to evacuation tasking
Processes and procedures are established to enable the despatch and control of evacuation assets in response to tasking
Evacuation support is delivered to support the continuity of care to casualties requiring evacuation via the health element
Evacuation support is delivered within the constraints of the operational environment allowing for appropriate security and protection of evacuation assets
The reception and despatch of casualties with other evacuation modes is coordinated

Manage health support

The interrelationship between health elements is managed to enable a continuity of care as the patient transitions through care agencies
Health care specialists and providers are consulted to ensure patient holding is appropriate and is balanced with the care they require and the need to maintain health element mobility
Patient tracking is managed to ensure an accurate picture of patient status at all times and to ensure the personnel administrative system is informed of the patient movements
Health records are maintained to enable an accurate record of care provided and a basis for review and ongoing treatment
Health logistics are managed to ensure the health resources available for care are consistent with the care required and the capability of the health element
Health related reports and returns are prepared and submitted to aid in organisational health planning and coordination
A knowledge of relevant conventions and laws (such as the Geneva Conventions and the Laws of Armed Conflict) are applied to the delivery of health support
The welfare and administration of patients and health element personnel is monitored
