CME Resources

Professional Associations

CME & CE points are awarded based on 'teaching hours', which does not include introductions, or feedback time.

• Royal NZ College of GP's (RNZCGP) - have given NFNZ approved provider status, which means that as long as our CME workshops do not incur a fee, and we submit monthly records of attendance, we are able to offer any of our CME workshops to GP's.
  

  For every GP that completes a CME, NFNZ must submit details to the RNZCGP

• Nursing Council - Nurses have the option of choosing their own ongoing learning opportunities, aka professional development. They need to acquire 60 hours every 3 years to remain registered, and depending on their area of practice, they can choose to do any of NFNZ CME offerings.
• Midwifery Council - has recently revised the need to have all CME offerings reviewed prior to accreditation. enabling Midwives to direct their own learning. The 'Fertility while Breastfeeding' CME has been approved by them in the past, and has been specifically designed for Midwives, and Lactation Consultants.

Every Midwife must complete a Reflective Journal

• Family Planning - our revised CME 'Fertility Awareness as a Contraceptive Choice' is currently being reviewed by Family Planning, the plan is to have it endorsed by them for health practitioners in the field of reproductive & sexual health.

Health Professionals can approach NFNZ to create a personalised offering for their practice. If you are contacted about this, please contact Chantelle at chantellemeikle@naturalfertility.co.nz for some guidance, as there are still some key components that need to be included.
