The new Work-Based Learning CPD category includes activities previously recorded under the Internal, Personal Learning and Research or Teaching categories. It involves doctors’ reflection of their clinical and non-clinical work.
Internal activities take place alongside your colleagues and teams within your workplace on topics related to your practice that help improve the standards of your own practice and that of your team.
Personal Learning is the most achievable CPD activity. You can claim 1 CPD credit for every hour of activity and evidence is not required.
Research and Teaching are essential in order to improve patient care. Sharing your knowledge with others will help you to consolidate your own learning as well as providing a valuable education opportunity for your colleagues and peers.
You can claim 1 CPD credit for each hour spent on these types of activities and some examples of these include:
- Grand rounds, Journal clubs, Multi-disciplinary team meetings
- Management, Policy and Committee meetings
- Personal reading or study (journals, textbooks, web journals etc)
