Suggestion- finish your training in the UK- transfer. Would contact the UK board and ask what would be required to register in the UK, and if you would need to take any additional classes to do so. Once registered in the UK, it should transfer easily to NZ.

I noticed that someone said they got their APC, Annual Practicing Certificate. It is an unnecessary expense, unless you have already landed in New Zealand, and are starting work. The APC is separate from registration. It's a subtle distinction that few people realize. I would save my money. It's an unnecessary expense until you are really ready to start treating patients. You can get on the registry without getting an APC, though I am sure the Board is happy to take your money. Regards, Dan

Hi Guys,

Firstly, thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread- its really helpful as I'm going through the tedious task of completing the competencies templates now and its nice to hear that people actually do finish it. Anyway, I have a couple questions...

1. Does each part of the competency need to be addressed (as I feel I'm writing way too much for each section), for example comp 2, do you need to write how you have met each aspect (2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc etc)? Or just an overall summary for Assess, Analyse and Plan Physiotherapy Management?

2. I have used the same bits of evidence for multiple comp's, this is OK right? otherwise I'd have loads of pieces. And I'm only using 3 references to show I can meet each requirement and just referenced to each of them. Does this sound right?

3. Far column, what do I put in there, the page number in appendix of the piece of supporting info I've used?

4. And Finally.....Would anyone be kind enough to email me a copy of even just one of their completed competency sheets, I think I'm on the right track, but just like everyone else I really want to make sure its completely correct before sending it off. I don't mind doing a swap with someone either, my email is [email protected]

Thanks so much and if anyone else needs a hand I'd be happy to try and help.
