The New Zealand Medical Radiation Technologists Board have ‘thanked’ the medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals for providing the safe delivery of essential services in New Zealand during COVID-19. Of particular note;
The MRTB Board recognises that throughout the course of the pandemic, practitioners may have had difficulty accessing the usual CPD channels. This recognition is reflected in the decision not to undertake a CPD audit for the 2021 year. The requirements for the 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2023 trimester remain the same but if a practitioner is unable to complete the required 60 CPD over the duration of the trimester the Board will exercise leniency. Please read the July newsletter for additional information.
