Traditionally, an accreditor training session is run each year for both new and existing colleagues. Our accreditors are encouraged to attend at least one training session every three years to ensure they are kept up to speed with the latest developments and standards. The workshop format is a mix of presentations, interactive group work giving participants the chance to run through a hypothetical accreditation event and an open forum discussion. The agenda covers useful information and updates for accreditors on current CASE guidelines and is also opened up to anyone who has an interest in sonographic education, whether they are an accreditor, course leader or someone else within the profession.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the inevitability of the training day having to be cancelled two years' in a row, we have decided on a different approach and now run a series of online training and open sessions for accreditors to drop-in to as and when they can. The webinar format for the training is typically a presentation on a specific topic followed by a Q&A session. Drop-in sessions are each an hour long and open to all accreditors, Committee members and anyone interested in becoming an accredtor, there is no set topic and everyone is invited to bring questions and issues they would like to discuss with others in the CASE community. Details of the 2023 sessions and recordings of past webinars and presentations can be found by clicking the button below
Additionally, CASE can offer small-group and 1:1 training on an ad-hoc,
virtual basis for those requesting it so if you have any training needs then please do contact us with your requirements.
An on-line training lecture entitled 'The Role of the CASE Accreditor in the Accreditation Process' has been developed to give new accreditors an understanding of what their responsibilities are.
The lecture covers topics such as documentation review, the accreditation event and giving feedback.
Audio is included, running time is 26:40 minutes
Thank you to CASE Training Lead, Gill Harrison, for providing this material for CASE.
The handouts for the lecture are also available to view below.
New accreditors are also advised to view the 'Shadow Accreditor' Training webinar
