The Certificate of Endorsement states that this course supports the following important outcomes:
01. Practical skills
02. Knowledge base
03. Work safely
06. Manage knowledge/information
07. High-quality healthcare/education services
08. Patient-centred care and choice
09. Inter-professional/agency working or learning
11. Workforce development or staff governance
12. Service design
19. Evidence to support practice
If you are considering registering for an MRI course other than MRI in Practice, ask for evidence that they have CPD NOW endorsement and check how many of the above outcomes are supported. This is an important benchmark and without such it is likely that a course is not fit for purpose as a CPD resource. Please note that we have outcome 7 - which is your assurance of the high-quality of our courses.
Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy award 30 Units of CPD for the course.
Helping you reflect.
Writing a reflective portfolio can be fairly intimidating for many people, but we are here to support you for the entire duration of the CPD certificate. Everyone who attends our course for CPD achievement is given their own CPD page for 2 years. This has a copy of your certificate and also a CPD information panel that reminds you of all the activities you have undertaken. This makes writing a reflective CPD portfolio very easy because the page also explains exactly how to link the learning gained from these activities to the specific relevant learning outcomes supported by the course. As professional academics we have been supervising and supporting adult learners for the last 25 years. We are very familiar with critical evaluation and reflective practice, because these skills were required by our Masters students. We have put together a browsable document that tells you all about reflective practice, reflective models and explains exactly how to use them in context of providing evidence to your professional body. All you need to do is follow our detailed guidance and apply it to your own particular needs.
