Supporting Evidence is required for the Work-Based Learning and Accredited CE categories and for some Planning activities.
You do not need to add supporting evidence to your Practice Review, as long as you have fully completed the CPDValet form provided for this purpose, that is sufficient.
Examples of appropriate types of evidence:
- Letter, Memo or Attendance certificate for an individual activity, on organising institution headed paper, confirming your attendance
- List of meetings or schedule of meetings/classes/lectures on organiser/institution headed paper, stamped or signed, including clear confirmation of your attendance
- Copy of your BLS, ACLS, PALS, ALSO or similar certification/re-certification card
- Conference identity tag which displays your name, and clearly identifies the educational activity and the date(s) it took place
