REGISTER FOR CT CREDENTIALING

COURSE FOR IA16D LICENCE

CT Certification Pathway

Approved by the NSW EPA (reciprocity confirmed in WA, ACT, QLD,

Vic) in 2018 RAINS will re-run the CT certification course to gain

licencing for NMTs for performing diagnostic CT (IA16D). CSU

students now graduate with full CT certification so qualified

practitioners need the opportunity to upgrade in a cost effective,

flexible & convenient manner. Similar reciprocal arrangements have

been negotiated locally in New Zealand and other states of Australia.

For those wishing to pursue the IA16D licence or equivalent in their

state, the program comprises 3 components:

1). Self study module that will be completed in the months April –

October 2018.

2). The face to face modules delivered at CT conference in November

2018.

3). A log book of the equivalent of 3 weeks full time supervised

practice in diagnostic CT.

Note: Registration in the CT course allows attendance at

Saturday and Sunday plenary sessions (session 1 each day).

PHARMACOLOGY COURSE

Certificate Course

Activities with a foundation of pharmacology have been part of the scope of

practice of nuclear medicine technologists and radiographers for many decades.

Radiopharmaceuticals, contrast, interventional medications, medication

cessation, emergency trolley etc. AHPRA / MRPBA registration recognises that

the capabilities are the minimum standard for entry and maintenance of

registration and also represent our ‘scope of practice’. This includes specific

capabilities in domain 5.8:

• apply knowledge of pharmaceuticals relevant to their division of registration:

• demonstrate understanding of the principles and applications of

pharmaceuticals;

• demonstrate understanding of the risks, precautions and contra-

indications of pharmaceutical use;

• apply knowledge of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and the

potential range of reactions to drugs or agents relevant to their division

of registration

• follow procedures to endure delivery of correct pharmaceuticals to

patients/clients

This course aims to upskill MRTs to provide evidence for capabilities and

comprises 2 components:

1). Self study module that will be completed in the months April – October 2018.

2). The 1 day face to face modules delivered at the conference in November 2018.

Note: Registration in the pharmacology course includes attendance at

Saturday plenary session (session 1) and discount registration for the

full Sunday program applies.
