Published: October, 28 2010

Are you organising a CPD course?

Why not apply for IIRRT Course endorsement?

This will allow participants on your course to receive CPD certification

Organisers of attendance based events, such as study days, seminars, conferences, are invited to apply to the IIRRT CPD Committee for CPD endorsement of the event, at info@iirrt.ie or posted via:

CPD Committee,

Irish Institute of Radiography and Radiation Therapy,

Kilmainham,

Dublin 8.

The application for endorsement can be downloaded here and should include the following information;

course title,
organiser,
course location and
course duration

and should occur no less than six weeks before the event. The application must be accompanied by the proposed programme, syllabus or learning materials. The CPD committee will normally advise applicants of the outcome of the application no later than 3 weeks after the receipt of application.

Successful applicants will reserve the right to advertise the IIRRT CPD endorsement on the course or conference flyer / programme. The IIRRT will also issue CPD certificates for the course / conference participants. The IIRRT CPD certificate may be presented as CPD evidence in the participant’s CPD portfolio.

The IIRRT endorses intravenous administration courses at the following centres:

1) Have undertaken an IV administration course that is endorsed by the IIRRT,

2) Have approval to perform IV injections under the local hospital IV administration protocol.

Course details should include:

Name of centre
Course date

Post course practice requirements, e.g., logbook evidence etc.

Approval of a course will be subject to an evaluation of the submitted course details to the usual address.
