License to ultrasound?

[peregrino]

Finally got my APC after spending tons of time and money. Paid the full NZD250.00 and my APC is only valid from 30 December 2010 till 31 March 2011...and I just received in on 7 January 2011. Shouldn't the fee be pro-rated?

Well, at least the board pro-rated the my hours of CPD.

So, I am applying for a job and on the form, there's a question about whether I have license to ultrasound. What is that license?

Hi,
congratulations first an welcome to NZ.

The fee for the APC covers the administration cost - therefore, there is no pro rata option.

The Ultrasound license used to be a seperate clause and was included and mentioned on the APC. This is no longer done this way - everyone with registration is permitted to perform Ultrasound. My last APC with the Ultrasound license noted was from 2004/2005. So, I presume, the application form which you have been send has never been updated. Hillarious!

Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks also for clarifying the license. For a while, I thought I was suppose to apply for another separate license to ultrasound...after using ultrasound for 10 years!
