To standardise the naming of course codes - the following naming convention has been adopted

 

Course Naming and Code Conventions

Courses have a strict naming convention

(Main topic) (Sub topic) (Other descriptor)

This means that a course would be named as follows

Blood Administration – An Introduction (instead of "an introduction to blood administration")

Cannulation – Peripheral Insertion Workshop (instead of "workshop to insert a peripheral cannula")

 

Course Codes

To assist with organising and searching for specific courses, we have adopted the following course code naming convention.

(Main Course Location – 2 letters) (Course primary sub-type – 2 letters) (Numerical Code – 3 numbers)

e.g.

For the course called Mental Health Rapid Assessment Framework which is run in the West Coast

WC = West Coast, MH = Mental Health – WCMH101
