Summary of development and consultation process

Toitū te Waiora developed this new qualification in conjunction with the Society of Cardiopulmonary Technology (NZ) Inc. (‘SCT’).

The qualification is suitable for learners currently working in the sector who are registered with the Clinical Physiologists Registration Board as Physiology Technicians with a Cardiac Scope of Practice.

Toitū te Waiora worked with SCT to map outcomes of its existing Certificate in Physiological Measurement into a national qualification. A draft qualification document was published on the Toitū te Waiora website in January 2025 and circulated via our networks for feedback.
