Why Join?

Knowledge
Being a part of the Provocatus NCoP means you’re invited to attend these webinars and participate in Q&As directly with subject matter experts, in a range of fields relating to veteran healthcare.

Attendance can contribute toward your Continuing Professional Development points, to help you meet annual requirements.

Future Reference
Signing up means you’ll be provided access to the webinars for future reference, as well as being able to view recent sessions when you’re not able to make it to the live webinar. It also means you get to meet with like-minded professionals and expand your network.

Continuing Professional Development
As a clinician, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a crucial part of staying up to date with the knowledge and skills required to maintain your professional practice and registration.

Attending NCoP webinars provides access to evidence-based practice, building your confidence and expertise to support the development of your veteran healthcare practice.

Why Present?

Becoming a presenter is a great opportunity to share your knowledge for the benefit of the veteran healthcare community, promote your practice, service or research and demonstrate your expertise with like-minded professionals.
