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!

ACMMIC401 - Implant microchip in cats and dogs

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

Prepare for microchip implantation

  1. Identify key statutory, local authority and insurance requirements associated with microchipping cats and dogs
  2. Explain details of the procedure to the owner
  3. Relate anatomical and physiological structures and functions to implantation procedures as well as likely migration sites for chips on animal body
  4. Ensure that microchip implantation workspace is appropriate for the needs of the species
  5. Follow relevant legislation and Australian Standards for implantation and scanning devices

Undertake implantation procedure

  1. Check implantation site for abnormalities and refer owner to veterinarian in the event of observed concerns
  2. Position animal for implantation, taking into account animal welfare, animal size, species, behavioural assessment, and work health and safety risks
  3. Inspect injection site and prepare for procedure using aseptic techniques according to industry standards
  4. Prepare the implanting device while maintaining asepsis
  5. Prepare skin, grasp and lift away skin, and insert needle subcutaneously at recommended angle
  6. Discharge microchip fully into subcutaneous tissue, withdraw needle from skin, checking microchip has discharged, under the supervision of a veterinary surgeon
  7. Dispose of needles in an approved sharps container
  8. Complete post-implantation workplace hygiene clean-up procedures
  9. Assess injuries sustained to humans and provide first aid treatment and seek medical attention if required
  10. Assess injuries sustained to animals and provide first aid treatment and seek veterinary attention if required
