Continuing professional development (CPD) activities should be very broadly defined and include personal, opportunistic and experiential learning as well as activities targeted at identifying ‘unknown unknowns’. Any learning activity where you spend time learning something and deciding how it can be put into practice in your current, or proposed, work can be counted as CPD. You should only expend time and energy in documenting a sample of your most relevant and important learning.
The aim is to demonstrate a balance of learning across the curriculum relevant to your scope of practice over the five-year revalidation cycle. You should choose to demonstrate reflection on your most valuable learning events across a variety of learning. This is not just courses and conferences and may include:
l learning from cases, data and events
l personal reading and online research
l online modules
l professional conversations about clinical care
l everyday learning from your work and the experiences of others.
As there is so much learning in primary care that takes place in teams, you should demonstrate where this has led to important changes and developments. It is also important, where possible, to demonstrate
some learning with others outside the usual workplace to allow for external calibration of ideas and processes. For any learning activity, you need to reflect on what you have learned and any changes you have made (or not) as a result.
This channel is a great place for content on GMC appraisal and revalidation for doctors and designated bodies. If you are a doctor or a designated body and looking for a doctor appraisal or a medical appraiser as part of the GMC requirements, feel free to get in touch. We also offer guidance on a Suitable person or Responsible officer requirements.
