Welcome to CNE Update

Continuing Nutrition Education 2012

http://www.cneupdate.co.za

A complete and comprehensive continuing professional development (CPD) programme for dietitians and nutritionists to earn up to 32 CPD points per year.

We are proud to announce our CNE programme for 2012:

The Division of Human Nutrition at Stellenbosch University will again present its annual Continuing Nutrition Education (CNE) programme for dietitians and nutritionists in 2012. This has become a highly successful annual event, with 550 dietitians taking part in the CNE programme in 2011.

This year we are very excited about the extension of our programme. The residential option (Option A) will still take place (31 May –1 June 2012). To complement the residential option and make it accessible to those not able to attend the full two days in Cape Town, we plan to make the full set of PowerPoint slides available electronically (Option B). To earn the required number of CPD points, the dietitians will have to study the slide shows in their own time and answer relevant questionnaires. The third option will be Option C, in which six articles have to be studied and questionnaires answered to obtain additional CPD points.

Participants can register for options A, B or C individually, or combinations of A and C or B and C can be selected. Depending on the combinations selected, a total of 32 CPD points, including 5 Ethics points, can be obtained.

Each practitioner is responsible for maintaining his/her own Individual Activity Report (Form IAR1) until such time as his/her name is drawn for a compliance audit (Click here to download the portfolio form). CNE update 2011 will issue a certificate of competence to participants who successfully complete the programme, and will keep record of each participant’s units earned for a period of three years after the date that the certificate was issued.

Some documents (extension .pdf) on the CNE Update platform require the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have it installed, you will need to download and install their free PDF viewer. Note that the reason for using the PDF format is that it results in smaller files and therefore faster downloads.
