Frequently Asked QuestionsHow do access information from the website library?I encourage members who are looking for information/forms/resources, to check out the Library section on the website. With a few simple steps you will have the information you require! Don’t forget:
Important categories in the library at present are BUPA letters, Philanthropic Activities, Meeting Minutes, the Orthosis-Splint Schedule, and Management Committee Job Descriptions. How do I access the Bupa Letters?You can access the Bupa Letters from our website by logging in to the members only section, hover your mouse over the resources button on the left hand side and then select the library option. Once you are in the Library please go to the select a catergory at the top and using the arrows find the BUPA Letter option and hit the select button. You will then have access to the letters. How do I access the AHTA Webinars after the event?
You can access the AHTA Webinars from our website by entering the members only section then selecting the professional Education on the left hand side, then selecting the National Webinar option. Once on this page you simply click for the recording or for the slides or for both. You can also access the survey to complete which will then enable you to receive a Certificate for CPD. Ho many CPD points do I get for presenting a national webinar?A huge 6 CPD points are allocated to the presenter! Do the presenters have intellectual Property rights?So far our presenters have been happy to allow permission for us to store their presentations and slides in our SECURE Members only section. The National Webinars were created as member/associate member only events, which provides some level of security. The rest is down to how much you as a presenter would like to contribute by way of your presentation being available afterwards for members to view. If permission is granted then of course it helps the AHTA to continue to engage with our rural/remote Members or for members who simply aren't able to attend on the night but have the opportunity to then view at a later date at their convenience. We do however also understand if presenters wish not place their presentations on the website. As An AHTA Webinar Presenter, what do I need to do to prepare?Time and date? When it suits you! as the presenter we will work around you and your current commitments. However, being able to present in the early evening for most members means we have more engagement. In order to run through how to use the webinar I would need about 20mins of your time and have prepared a guideline for the presenters, which is pretty easy to follow. In order to gain as much exposure as possible it would be good to have a date, time and topic along with a short paragraph on what the presentation would be about approx 1 month prior. We can of course be flexible with this... feel free to contact the AHTA office at info@ahta.com.au for further help and assistance.
