Conjoint Committee for the Recognition of Training in Peripheral Endovascular Therapy (CCRTPET)
Initially when it was formed, in 2005, hospitals were asking for guidance as to who should have their training recognised, such that they could undertake endovascular treatments.
Now each of the three Colleges (RACP, RANZCR, and RACS) has developed rigorous training programs in the relevant areas concerned in their respective College, so that on attaining Fellowship this training is recognised automatically.
Therefore, the Conjoint Committee is no longer relevant, and the Committee decided to disband.

Overview
The Conjoint Committee was constituted by three parent bodies, the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS), The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) and The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR). The parent bodies delegated to the Conjoint Committee powers to formulate training guidelines in Peripheral Endovascular Therapy and to assess the training of persons seeking recognition of their training in this area.
Training in Peripheral Endovascular Therapy was assessed by the Conjoint Committee, usually in the context of the Specialist Advanced Training Program of RACS, RACP or RANZCR. Full recognition is therefore dependent on appropriate training, experience and supervision pursuant to those Training Programs.
Recognition of satisfactory training in Peripheral Endovascular Therapy will therefore be given at the successful completion of Specialist Advanced Training
