The Australian Point of Care Practitioners’ Network (APPN) provides online training, certification and professional development for all Point of Care Testing (PoCT) operators.

Everyone will have noticed that CSGPN offers a diverse selection of many Active Learning Modules (ALMs) each year. Whilst participants attend these activities primarily for the learning, if you also wish to be eligible for the category 1 point allocation it is important that you fulfill all requirements of the ALM.

All GPs, practice managers, practice nurses and practices should have received a copy of the CSGPN Calendar of events July – December. Please remember that the calendar may be amended generally with more workshops being added as the year progresses.

From the hepatitis ALM below is some important news for GPs and their patients with hepatitis.

I receive lots of calls asking if we are running a CPR course for GPs and practice staff. CSGPN is unable to offer this particular course, however we have sourced several organisations that offer CPR training on a regular basis. You can access this information via the CSGPN web page for Practice Support.

With the commencement of the new Triennium there have been many queries on the requirements.
