GPhC to change how CPD records are reviewed

The General Pharmaceutical Council is amending the CPD framework so that a random sample of at least 2.5 per cent of pharmacy professionals will have their CPD records called for review every year.

The GPhC is also extending registrants' period of exemption from having their records called after meeting CPD requirements from one year to two. The decisions were reached after the GPhC received over 2,200 responses to its consultation on sampling CPD records – the most responses it had ever received to a consultation. A significant majority of respondents supported the proposed changes.

Under the previous framework, all registrants could expect to have their records called for review once every five years.

GPhC chief executive Duncan Rudkin said: “We were encouraged by the interest in our consultation on changing our CPD framework and by the very positive response to our proposals. CPD remains a core professional responsibility and we hope that listening to our registrants on how to make CPD more meaningful will encourage them to continue to demonstrate their professionalism by reflecting regularly on learning and development activities.”
