13The College of Chiropractors PRT Scheme
- What it is
- What it is not
- What it may mean for you
14Provisional Registration Training is a misnomer
- PRT has nothing to do with GCC registration
- PRT takes place after GCC registration -
candidates must be registered chiropractors to
participate
15What is PRT?
- The Colleges PRT scheme provides an established
framework for a period of postgraduate
training/professional development for new
graduates - It enables newly qualified chiropractors to work
with regular contact with more experienced
colleagues who act as trainers/mentors
16What is PRT?
- Further structured education is provided at
regional events by experienced PRT facilitators - The overarching aim is the smooth transition from
the undergraduate setting to autonomous
professional practice in the clinical setting
17Why participate in thePRT programme?
- The Professional Associations require new
graduates to undertake PRT for full membership,
and have adopted the Colleges scheme
18Why participate in thePRT programme?
-
- The College of Chiropractors requires graduates
to complete the Colleges PRT programme in order
to progress through its membership levels
19What are the requirements of the PRT scheme?
- The scheme comprises the following components
- Practice-based learning
- Experiential learning
- Meeting participation
- Reflective diary
- Personal Development Plan (PDP)
- Audit
20Practice-based learning
- In order to participate in the PRT, a Candidate
must be partnered with an approved Trainer - Regular contact between the PRT Candidate and the
Trainer is required - The amount of Candidate/Trainer contact is not
prescribed, but the spirit in which PRT should be
undertaken is one where there is regular,
clinical, workplace interaction between the
Candidate and their Trainer throughout the PRT
year
21Practice-based learning
- Trainer and Candidate complete record sheets
indicating how the contact hours have been
utilised. - A formal review of clinical skills is also
undertaken by the Trainer
22Experiential learning
- Candidates are required to observe three
different allied disciplines over the PRT year -
according to the Trainers contacts, these may be
a local GP, hospital consultant, physiotherapist,
podiatrist, osteopath, health visitor etc.
23Meeting participation
- Participation in three Regional College PRT
Workshops, held during the PRT year, is required - the content is largely structured and common to
all the Faculties, but there is ample opportunity
for Candidate-led sessions - events are run all around the country to allow
flexibility of attendance
24Meeting participation
- Participation in two College Regional CPD
Meetings, co-ordinated by the Colleges Regional
Faculties, is required - these are often evening
meetings and are open to all (no additional
charge)
25Meeting participation
- Participation in one national or international
chiropractic conference is required
26Reflective diary
- This requirement has been developed to provide
for all types of learning within chiropractic
practice, while still allowing Candidates to
focus their learning - Used on a day-to-day basis to reflect
difficulties, positive experiences and queries of
every day practice, the reflective diary is a
very simple way of learning new skills and
evaluating old ones - A minimum number of entries is required over the
year
27Personal Development Plan (PDP)
- The PDP, a very simple but formal record of the
Candidates own learning, is completed twice
during the PRT year and is subdivided into - Introduction identification of learning needs
highlights expectations and concerns - Discussion how learning needs have/have not
been met addresses themes from the reflective
diary and learning events attended
constructively addresses strengths and weaknesses - Summary relating to the introduction,
identifies areas for further development
28Audit
- Chiropractors must audit the services they are
providing to identify what is working well and
what is not, and to make appropriate changes.
For the purposes of PRT, candidates are required
to complete at least one round of a clinical
audit. A detailed online guidance pack is
available.
29Optional written article
- The Candidate is strongly encouraged and
supported in carrying out a project, to a
standard and format suitable for publication in a
peer-reviewed journal - ordinarily the
peer-reveiwed journal, Clinical Chiropractic if
relevant. - The piece of work may take the form of an audit,
case report, case series, literature review etc.
