As you will be aware SWEP has made a lot of changes to our Prescriber Registration and Credentialing Framework over the past 12 months. The Framework was implemented to enhance the professional governance and accountability related to the prescription of Assistive Technology. Many of the revisions and changes have been as a result of the invaluable feedback our prescribers, health care employers and professional bodies have provided. Subsequently our Framework continues to strengthen.
In the coming months we will be making some further updates that we are excited to share with you. This includes the following;
We are continuing to receive applications for endorsement of
education and these can be located here -

Review of our current triage tools, scripts and clinical
justification supplements to provide more prompts and explanations of
information required for a successful script as well as provision of some "best practice" examples on the SWEP website
Review of the current AT categories and complexity criteria
to ensure these are still accurate
We will communicate with you as each of these are rolled out
but wanted to acknowledge the valuable feedback and intended changes coming
soon!
