Professional Development

Thank you to

all those who completed the National CPD survey recently. Your feedback

has been invaluable and we are reviewing suggestions received via the survey and other

mechanisms in commencing planning of the 2017 CPD program.

Branch CPD workshops are predominantly one or two days in length with a maximum cap

set at 48 (or lower if required), with speech pathologists as its core audience.

This allows for an in-depth opportunity for professional learning. To further assist in this,

there is extensive communication and consultation with each presenter prior to the event.

Information is then stated explicitly in each CPD event brochure, including:

• Learning objectives for participants attending the workshop.

• The relevant caseload (e.g. paediatric/adult, age group of clients; areas of scope of

practice etc).

• The level the workshop will be aimed at (e.g. introductory/general or to be of benefit you

need to have experience in this area), with an aim that workshops will be identified as

core or progressing practice or advanced.

• Any required/assumed knowledge and/or skills that registrants are expected to have

knowledge and experience in.

• If there’s any recommended/required pre-reading.

• If registrants are expected to bring anything to the workshop.

Sharon Crane, Senior Advisor Professional Education and Certification and the Branch CPD

Coordinators are happy to answer any questions regarding the workshop content—details

are supplied on each event brochure.

Anita Rodricks, SPA’s Professional Education Officer, is available to answer any queries you

may have about registering for events plus the CPD Events Library.
