Hi,
it's really not that difficult, just time consuming.
For every learning outcome/ objective you have to write a little paragraph on why you feel/ know, you have met it. Every statement needs to be cross-referenced to a piece of evidence, which you will need to submit, too.
A piece of evidence can be used for several objectives.
Evidence is everything that has been countersigned by a e.g. manager or senior therapist.
Please do take the advise by Oscar. Just recently, a successful registration applicant has written a huge thread on what he has done. Lots of good information in that one!
Good luck,
cheers,
Fyzzio

Hello Hannah,

I am a Dutch Physio and am applying for registration aswell. The first time they send it back to me and it is now slightly clearer what to do and write.
I completely understand your frustation here and the board is not really helpfull and approachable on this issue.... believe me I've tried.

Evidence their after includes a full curriculum document, with terms of attainment, learning objectives and literature list that your course is based on.
Further they want infomration on your clinical placements (where, hours, work invoved, patientsgroups etc.) They want an overview of the hours you spend on each subject and of course learing outcomes (your marks)

They are also interrested in your scientific research project (I translated my thesis and it is part of the evidence) and your ongoing professional development. That doesnt necesarry have to include post grad or other courses, but can be a certificate of participation from a congress you attended, a research you read and some comments about what you've learned. I have used Dutch guidelines to show that I develop myself and practice safely... (as in I have read them and made some commnets about them and wrote that I used those as guidelines for treatment....)

If you send me your email I can email you trough my portfolio (or parts of it) so you have an idea about layout and set up...

I have not applied for the second time yet, I want to make sure its all A okay.
I think th efirst time you apply and it's not what they are after, they return you the $600 cheque.. They did to me. And they sned you a letter describing what you need to provide... so even if you're not sure you've got it all you can send it in to see whatthey say...

Let me know if you need any more help. Good luck and hang in there, it will take a while before you've got it right the way they want it!

Kind regards,

Eline.
