This community culture has been developed to foster a professional community of mentoring and learning among IRETT users. It is our shared set of beliefs, expectations and values that influence our individual engagement with the IRETT and the ways in which the individuals in our community interact with one another and collaborate to achieve common objectives.
As a member of the IRETT community you must agree to:
- Stay within your scope of practice. It is unacceptable for any health care professional to operate outside of their professional scope of practice.
- Respect others. Through the IRETT activities you are part of an international professional community. You will respect others at all times particularly where there are language barriers, unbalanced levels of education and cultural differences.
- Understand the non-hierarchical structure. In this dynamic engaged community, everyone is equal irrespective of their profession, age, gender, experience and qualifications.
- Be both a learner and a teacher. We all have knowledge to share and there will always be situations where we can help each other regardless of our age, experience or geographical location. Make contributions where you can.
- Contribute to meaningful discussions. Discussion forums can be an excellent source of knowledge sharing. You will make an effort to both read and appropriately contribute to discussion posts with constructive, supportive and educational comments.
- Be responsible for your own professional outcomes. You decide what you need to develop professionally and improve your professional outcomes. You will personally identify these needs and participate in learning activities that can help you meet your professional outcomes.
