The Board orders supervision of a physiotherapist under the Health Practitioner Competence Assurance Act 2003 (HPCAA), in a number of circumstances.
The HPCAA defines supervision as the monitoring of, and reporting on, the performance of a health practitioner by a professional peer.
The circumstances for Board‐ordered supervision in this context may include:
- competence matters (such as competence programmes)
- Return to Practice programme.
- monitoring compliance with interim orders (generally arising from conduct concerns).
More information on Board‐ordered supervision is available here.
The following three modules provide advice and information for practitioners who are supervising a Board‐ordered supervision. These clips should be watched alongside the supporting documents before beginning Board‐ordered supervision. If you have any questions, please contact our Professional Advisors.
