CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Remember, attendance at our Seminars earns you up to 4 Continuing Professional Development (CNE or CPD) points, necessary to maintain your registration. If you attend our monthly educational sessions this will also contribute to your points. If you attend all monthly sessions as well as the three seminars during the year, all your required CPD credits will have been achieved!

A great boon for those who are time strapped and cash poor!


SPECIAL NOTE:

The event below on Friday 9th March has been especially planned to be the day before the WAPNA seminar to enable both rural and metro members to participate in both and gain lots of CPD points! Although being promoted by WAPNA, you will need to register by 2nd March, as per the flyer information - to download please click here.
So come along to both days and enjoy lots of networking with everyone.

The project aims to encourage pregnant women, new mothers and their families to protect the foetus and newborn babies from exposure to tobacco smoke, to reduce their chance of developing asthma. NAPS distributes free resources to WA maternity hospitals, GP’s, child and community health centres and Aboriginal Health Services and also delivers free on-site Brief Intervention Training in Smoking Cessation for maternal and child health professionals.
