What is the Conjoint Committee?

The Conjoint Committee for the Recognition of Training in CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) is composed of three representatives from each of the following organisations:

• The Australian and New Zealand Association of Physicians in Nuclear Medicine (ANZAPNM)
• The Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ)
• The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR)

Its aim is to promote a collaborative and consistent model of CTCA training and service delivery in Australia and New Zealand.

The Committee operates under legally binding regulations which ensure that decisions are made on a consensus basis across the three professional bodies.

The Committee’s role is to:

• Formulate and review guidelines for training in CT Coronary Angiography
• Formulate and review guidelines for training courses in CT Coronary Angiography
• Provide certification of satisfactory completion of training in CT Coronary Angiography (or the withdrawal of such certification)
• Maintain and publish a web-based register of recognised CTCA specialists; and
• Establish quality assurance benchmarks in relation to the performance of CT Coronary Angiography
