Professional Development

SPA commenced national

online CPD live

events in 2014 on a range of clinical areas and

in professional practice areas. Below are some

“Frequently Asked Questions” about CPD live events,

but let us know if there are other queries you would

like answered.

What equipment / technology do I need?

You just need a PC, laptop or device that has internet

connectivity and audio output.

What software do I need?

You need to install Cisco Webex – to assist with this,

you are provided with a test link and that works on

nearly all PCs (except those with older operating

systems such as Windows XP, Windows Server 2003

and Mac OS 10.6).

Once installed, it does not need to be re-installed for

each event.

I’m interested in participating in a Live event—tell

me a bit more about these.

If you are participating in the Live event, you do not

need a webcam as you see the speaker but they

don’t see you.

You have the opportunity to communicate in real time

with the presenters via a Chat Box where you can

type in questions or comments.

You can participate in a Live event on a tablet or

mobile device but won’t be able to view videos or

participate in activities (anonymous polls etc).

You may also be asked to do an interactive

(anonymous) activity during the event. With the

interactive activities at the live event, you don’t need

to have a practice run before the live event as all will

be explained on the day.

Will I get a copy of the presentation or just the

link?

If you are participating in the live event or viewing the

recording of the online event, you are provided with

supporting materials. These generally include a copy

of the Powerpoint presentation, plus any relevant

materials from SPA (eg Clinical Guidelines in the area

the event is in).

I’m interested in viewing a Recording of a CPD

Live event—tell me a bit more about these.

If you have registered for the recording, you will need

to wait for approximately 1 - 2 working days after the

live online event before you receive the link to view the

recording.

Mobile devices are fine for viewing recordings.

If you are viewing the recording you can do this at any

SPA CPD live online events is a convenient and accessible way to

learn, offering flexibility to participate anywhere.
