We are pleased to announce CPD Certification; we are in the process of getting all our events officially certified so they count towards your CPD cycle and further training which practices are required to complete.

This is a great development for our training and in turn the practices who support and attend our events.

GPs currently need to accrue 250 CPD points every five years (50 per year) in order to have a licence to practise and a certificate to be on the general practice register revalidated so please make sure your GPs and practice staff are aware of this development in order to gain the CPD points necessary.

The new CPD Credits Scheme aims to:

• Support all GPs in updating and applying their knowledge and skills

• Promote patient confidence

• Demonstrate improved patient care
