Clinical Governance Modules

Home > Courses and Events > Clinical Governance Modules

The Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM) is pleased to release its Clinical Governance for Medical Physicists course, consisting of 3 modules. Each module is available to both ACPSEM members and non-members of the College. 

The Modules are tailored specifically to equip any medical physicist who completes the course with:

  1. The fundamentals of clinical governance
  2. An opportunity to apply these principles to your current scope of practice, and/or;
  3. Additional principles and activities for those seeking or engaged in leadership roles beyond the scope of their scientific expertise.

Overall, the Course will provide participants with an overview of clinical governance from a range of perspectives and through the lens of health professionals in general, that is, not just uniquely from a medical physics perspective.

For more information please find our Clinical Governance Modules Brochure 

CPD Points

Modules 1, 2, and 3 are estimated to take a total of 20 hours to complete (10 - 5 - 5 respectively). A total of 20 CPD points can be claimed for completion of the entire course.

Alternatively, for partial completion of the course, CPD points to claim are as follows:

  • Module 1: 10 CPD points
  • Module 2: 5 CPD points
  • Module 3: 5 CPD points

IMPORTANT

For new entrants to the QMPS Register commencing 1 July 2025 

The Professional Standards Board (PSB) has established a mandatory requirement that all new entrants to the ACPSEM Register of Qualified Medical Physics Specialists (QMPS) — whether through successful completion of TEAP certification or via the experienced practitioner or bespoke pathways — must complete Clinical Governance Module 1 within 12 months of their registration.  Provided this module is successfully completed within the allotted timeframe there is no cost involved. 

Should new entrants not complete module 1 within the stipulated timeframe, the requirement to successfully complete the module will remain, but the registrant will have the remainder of the current CPD period in which to complete the module. In this case the registrant will be required to pay the $330 ACPSEM Member fee for the module. Non-compliance at the conclusion of the CPD period  will result in removal of participants from the ACPSEM Register

Module 1
   

By the end of Module 1 participants will:

• Be able to detail the core components of the Australian clinical governance framework developed by the Australian Commission on Quality and Safety in Health
• Have reflected on the behaviours and actions expected of medical physicists to help their workplaces meet those standards
• Note the various standards that may be relevant to your medical physics role
• Have sufficient insight to make a decision regarding whether to proceed to Module 2 (Applications of Clinical Governance) and Module 3 (Leadership in Clinical Governance).
