Core Principles for Continuing Professional Development

According to the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, doctors are required by the GMC “to remain up to date and fit to practise across the whole of their scope of work. They are ultimately responsible for their own learning and for undertaking Continuing Professional Development (CPD) that has educational value and keeps them up to date throughout their career.”

According to the Academy, “doctors should aim for a balance of learning methods and experiences, appropriate to their CPD needs and PDP. Personal study includes reading relevant books and journals and internet-based learning, such as webinars and e-learning modules.”
