How the RCOphth CPD system works

چکیده
The programme follows a five year cycle of CPD activity in which 250 credits need to be accumulated. Participants are expected to accumulate 50 credits per year. The system allows doctors to record their educational activity which they are then able to present at their appraisal and revalidation. It supports them in specific changes in practice and career development. Points given by the College are based on one point equating to one hour of educational activity.
