AUSTRALIAN HEALTH DESIGN COUNCIL

Continuing Professional Development

Australian Health Design Council Events take on a wide variety of formats, generally featuring guest presentations, discussion and Q&A on topics relevant to architects and building design professionals involved in the design of healthcare and related environments.

Overview

Webinars are typically 1 hour in length and followed by informal discussion and networking opportunities.

Presenters and hosts are carefully selected for their knowledge and expertise in healthcare design, delivery and project management. Post-event questionnaires are circulated to attendees to evaluate the quality of the presentation and collect on-going feedback.

Participants should review event synopsis to determine the suitability of AHDC events for relevance to their profession and areas of interest. These can be found within event invitations.

CPD for Architects

Registered Architects in all Australian jurisdictions can log 1 formal CPD points for certain AHDC events. Always check the event invitation for the synopsis and relevant NSCA units. Architects are expected to complete the post-event questionnaire and maintain their own records of attendance. The post-event discussion is an opportunity for feedback and discussion to assist in learning outcomes. Alternatively, members can claim 1 informal points by accessing post-event recordings and presentation slides.
