Hi Claire

Are you talking about patient assessment forms or assessment forms you were assessed on as a student?? If u mean patient assessment forms then you dont need to get them signed...but i dont think you would need to send them in either (i didnt send any, there were too many)!!!
If youre talking about student assessment forms then yes definately you need them signed!!
I sent in my dissertation alright, but you have to get each page stamped by your university and the front page dated and signed by a memeber of staff (very important to do this or they will send it back!)

dont send any inservices unless there are signed and dated by a senior physio who was in attendance at the inservice!! They will only send them back to you and delay the registration process further. If its too much trouble/hassle to get them signed and dated then dont send them in, use something else as evidence, eg. course certificates, etc.

Hope this helps
Kevin

AWesome thank-you!!

Might be a little difficult to get my two IST signed as I am now living in Oz!!! THanks so much for replying, I will see what I can do about my dissertation, it is still in the UK with my mum and I will see if she can go in for me to Uni and get it signed!!

I qualified in 2000, so that is over 10 years ago and I don't have any of my student assessment forms anymore and the Uni does not keep them, so I am just doing lots of reflective practice and using PDP from my junior and senior positions.

I think I will call the board as I am wondering if I git a lawyer to sign the IST/dissertation, they might accept it is as a TRUE copy???????? Heres hoping!!!

Oh and one more question, do you have any advice about the treaty of waitangi reflective practice?

Hope you have a fantastic time in NZ it truly is a beautiful country!!

Thanks again,

Claire xx

Hi Claire

Just in relation to the Treaty of Waitangi, you just have to write a reflective statement about the treaty. Its very east, u just fill out the template they have for it, its about a page long! You just summarise what you think the treaty means, its very easy!
As with the other questions about the lawyer certifying the documents, u should just ring the physio board in wellington, their number is on the NZ Physio website, they are very helpful and will answer all your questions!!

The very best of luck!!!
PS: what part of Oz are you in?

Hi Kevin,

Congrats on getting your registration!! It must feel great to have that all sorted out and ready for a new adventure!! I have to say a big thank you for replying in soo much detail about some tips on the process.

Im still not entirely sure about the supporting evidence though and getting things signed and dated. For some of my evidence i was thinking of using is from my university placements such as the placements forms, observed assessments with patients, reflection cycles etc....as this was a couple of years ago now i dont think i can get them signed and some would be photocopies too. What did you do for your evidence? did you get all of your pieces signed and dated? Does the date need to be relevant to the time of when it was done or could it be now? Im just worried about spending lots of time on it and then have it sent back for somthing like a date or signature....any thoughts would be appreciated mate.

Thanks, James.
