Kits are only for use in the Clinic or on Clinical Placement.

Clinical Educators can borrow kits from the Lismore and Gold Coast libraries. Coffs Harbour kits are held by the labs.

To borrow a kit, the Clinical Educator is required to email library@scu.edu.au the day prior to collection, with the following details:

• Name of the Clinical Educator collecting the kit/s *:

For the student to collect the kit, we require email notification by their Clinical Educator advising the following additional details:

Library staff:
