Hi Stu

Nice to hear from you again, have been meaning to email you. Hope all is well in the land of the long white cloud, bit cold here on mud island!

Personally I am just about finished. I am waiting for a couple of work validation forms, one from Spain (this chap moved there from Brazil after moving there from UK...), and a couple of letters from South African Uni, posted on te 3/12...have a bad feeling about that! They only return to work later this onth to start a new year, so might delay things a bit. Otherwise have done a cardio-resp course, did 6 hours shadowing a Physio in a local hospital, including some hands on in intensive care, so hopefully this will help. Attended national congress which included cardio and neuro lectures. Just a matter of putting it all together in one package once all evidence is gathered, and hopefull send off soon.

There is another good thread going so check out newer ones on the 'working as a physiotherapist in NZ' heading. As one Physio who already got her reg said, they are not looking for anyone being an expert in all 3 fields, just need to show competence. Also they love reflective statements, so I have done this for the competencies on nz management principles, waitangi agreement and others involving NZ health.

Been a long journey, but the end is in sight.

Cheers

Pete
