CPD consultation

The GMC is seeking your views on our role in regulating doctors' continuing professional development (CPD).

On 17 October 2011 we launch our consultation on the GMC’s role in CPD. The consultation will be open until 27 January 2012.

We are consulting on our role in CPD and how we regulate CPD.

We are asking for feedback on three main areas of our work on CPD:

• introduction of revised CPD guidance to provide a framework of principles to support doctors in planning, carrying out and evaluating their CPD
• incorporation of the CPD guidance into local processes of appraisal and personal development plans
• identification and dissemination of information about key trends, developments in medical practice or professionalism which may be relevant to doctors’ future CPD needs.

• read about our review and consultation on CPD and how to respond
