This event is scheduled to occur at the Windmill Casino in Bloemfontein on Saturday, 24 February, 2024.
The purpose of the stakeholder engagement activity is to facilitate meaningful communication and interaction with practitioners. One of the key strategic goals of the HPCSA is to improve the relationship between Council and healthcare practitioners across the country.
This upcoming roadshow is part of a series of nationwide campaigns facilitated by Council to gather feedback and address concerns from stakeholders. Additionally, these activities serve as platforms to educate and empower practitioners about board-related issues and developments within their professions.
Akhona Vuma, chairperson of the MTB, is encouraging practitioners to register for and attend the event.
“During the roadshow, practitioners will receive updates on various Board matters and presentations on important topics affecting their profession. The event is also fully accredited and Continuing Educational Units (CEUs) will be confirmed,” Vuma said.
The topics to be discussed include registration procedures, complaints management, the role of the Inspectorate Office, revised ethical rules, continuing professional development (CPD), and updates on the scope of profession/practice, among others.
