NZ reg: more than 10 years in private practice

Hi Stu

Nice to hear I am not drowning alone!! Contacted another physio who has already doen the NZ route and been in Oz for 6 years. She is out here giving courses at the moment. She also had a similar situation and what she did was a weekend course on Cardiovascular work and then did about 7 case studies on each component, ie casrdio and neuro. She does think think she went overboard and said maybe 3 to 5 on each would suffice. There is a respiratory update course on 19th April this year, details from [email protected] I will probably be going on this one to catch up and will keep an eye on any cardioresp courses in the near future. I'm still waiting to get all my info from my Uni in South Africa where I studied, so there will be a longish delay. If all this goes too slowly I might just write the Sept exam for the Oz physio council assessment, but I am trying to avoid it if I can. It would be great to keep in contact during this phase, my email is [email protected] I have some info from websites, you might already have, concerning how to complete the portfolio, so we could possibly share info. Let me know.

Cheers

Pete

Hi Pete.

Good to get a reply. I'm interested to know a bit more about the case studies. I've checked out the course you mentioned and will be signing up for it tonight, there should be plenty of time between now and then to read up enough theory to answer sensible questions on the day.
I'll start e-mailing you direct shortly. Hopefully a few more posts may encourage a few responses from elsewhere.

Pete, I have found and applied for a place on what appears to be a more relevant course for our purposes. To quote " The course is ideal for junior and senior II staff and those requiring a revision in respiratory care. It has excellent relevance for final year students wishing to further their knowledge at an early stage."

The lecturer is Alex Hough, I don't know about you but it was Alex's book we used as undergraduates.
