ScanTrainer Professional modules approved for CPD points
MedaPhor Group plc (AIM: MED), the global provider of advanced
ultrasound skills training simulators for medical professionals,
announces that ScanTrainer Professional, its world-leading
ultrasound skills training simulator, has been awarded official
Accredited Provider status by The CPD Standards Office.
This means doctors and sonographers in the UK, Europe,
Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East can gain CPD points by
completing ScanTrainer's curriculum-based general medicine,
obstetrics, gynaecology and emergency medicine ultrasound
modules.
Stuart Gall, CEO at MedaPhor, said of the accreditation: "This
is another significant milestone for our ScanTrainer Professional
ultrasound training simulator and further enhances the system's
value to medical institutions and medical practitioners in the UK,
Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East. We plan to
replicate this in North America, with their equivalent CME points
system."
Amanda Rosewarne, Director of Research and Accreditation, The
CPD Standards Office, said: "We are delighted to have assessed and
accredited MedaPhor for its training so it can now offer formal CPD
points for delegates worldwide who have professional development
requirements in the medical sector. Having been through our
rigorous assessment process, MedaPhor's medical training course is
able to deliver engaging and transferable skills through a high
quality learning experience in the framework of continuous
professional development (CPD)."
CPD points will be available with the new 2017 Edition
ScanTrainer software due to be launched in early 2017.
