Certified Practising membership updates …

Keeping a record of your PSR activities

To access this option, go to the SPA website > Members tab > Update your member details > Log in > My PSR tab > PSR Activities >

MEMBERS CAN KEEP a record of PSR activities via their online member record and the PSR Activities log. As the SPA website is a responsive website, activities can be logged via mobile devices. Since this option to log PSR activities online was made available in 2010, over 21,660 activities have been logged by nearly 2,000 members, with 10% of members using this in the previous renewal year. To date, this has provided members who have used this facility with a ready reference when it comes to renewal time and completing the PSR declaration. In response to feedback, we have recently worked on improving the visibility and functionality of this existing PSR activities recording function. New features include the following: • The My PSR section of your online member record will be able to be accessed via a more prominent “Log my PSR Activities” button under your online member profile. • Points for SPA CPD Branch workshops will be transferred across to the member’s PSR Activities record one week after the event was run. This period is necessary to allow follow up and cancellation or amendment of attendance records. (Points for the SPA Conference cannot be transferred across automatically as member attendance may vary from sessions selected and can be either C/S or W/S depending on the nature of the presentation.) • Activities you have logged under your PSR in “Log PSR Activities” will be transferred across to your PSR Declaration once you commence your renewal process. You must then review and confirm the declaration before proceeding further with your renewal.

This section allows you to record PSR activities undertaken throughout the year – click on the + sign and enter each activity and then hit Save & Close .
