Shaping Up To Revalidation
Revalidation is on its way and Conference Plus is happy to help you fulfil requirements for certain domains.
As you are probably aware by now GPs licensed by the GMC will also be required every 5 years to be recertified by the RCGP in order to achieve revalidation.
Your annual appraisal is critical to this process and in the 4 domains of evidence required (Knowledge, Skills & Performance; Safety & Quality; Communication, Partnership & Teamwork; Maintaining Trust) the first two will be enhanced by a course with Conference Plus.
A credit system has been proposed to assess the maintenance of professional performance:
- All of the Royal Colleges are adopting a system of earning 50 learning credits per year (250 over the five year period)
- A Credit is a unit of CPD activity
- RCGP system is based on the “outcomes of learning” rather than the time spent
- Number of credits based on level of “impact” and “challenge”
- Credits will be self-assessed but will be verified by the assessor
- Attending a chronic disease course, then doing an audit, producing and introducing a protocol and re-auditing might be worth for example 15 credits
Conference Plus could be a valuable resource to help you achieve some of your desired Development Needs from your Personal Development Plan. Just choose from the extensive array of topics in our Academic Programmes.
