Clarification: Neonatal CCPU

We'd like to try and clear up some misunderstandings about the Neonatal CCPU which seem to have emerged from the announcement email that was circulated last week. The process is most clearly explained in the first of the linked documents:
http://www.asum.com.au/open/tmp/ccpu_invitation_aug08.pdf

Several points to highlight:

1)   Firstly, the workshop on the 8th/9th August is not compulsory but aimed at those who are starting out on the process of learning ultrasound and accreditation to give them a foundation in which they can build. We are planning to run a more advanced course in late November this year, this is in the early planning phase.

2)   For those with some prior learning in this area, they need to apply, as instructed, to have that prior learning recognised.

http://www.asum.com.au/open/CCPU_Neonatal_AdvStand.htm  They need to include as much supporting documentation of competence as they can with their application. They can propose what they would like to have recognised from the basic module right up to full award of the neonatal CCPU. To ensure application at the appropriate level, those applying for prior learning recognition should also look at the specifications for the full CCPU at http://www.asum.com.au/open/CCPU_regs&specs.pdf as well as the syllabus http://www.asum.com.au/open/CCPU_Neonatal_syllabus.html  The final decision on these applications will be made by the CCPU committee.

3)   For those starting out it will become necessary to either attend one of the courses that will be run via ASUM or to attend another accredited course. The other courses can include those that have been run by Jon Skinner in Auckland or an in-house training course run within a hospital department. Several of us who train in ultrasound, including Jon Skinner, are applying to ASUM to have our courses recognised. If your department runs such a course, you should do the same.

This is a new process and there's going to be a learning curve for all of us, so we beg your patience. We welcome constructive feedback on this and any queries could be directed to Nick Evans (nevans@med.usyd.edu.au), Martin Kluckow (mkluckow@med.usyd.edu.au) or Andy Gill (Andy.Gill@health.wa.gov.au).
