[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1973298, member: 345386"] In most instances of CPD I know of, the elements the person must undertake must be relevant (to the work they are doing), and add up to a certain number of hours, over the course of a year. Bearing in mind that those dealing with T2, in general, family practise, work with a very broad spectrum, they have plenty options, as far as picking up their CPD, and ignoring available time, there are huge numbers of CPD units of the RCGP website, before we consider other online resources, through to face to face meetings and conferences. I envisage the various company reps, meeting with HCPs to inform and promote their products will ensure their presentations are CPD compliant as a carrot to meetings happening. As someone who worked for years, and years, and years having to pick up CPD, it is usually incredibly simple to do without impinging on one's day to day activity. Of course our HCPs should be at the leading edge of knowledge, but in GP surgeries, they have so many pressures - hypertension, diabetes, stress, back pain, asthma, to name just a few, so whilst I think it's not at all good, I can see how folks can become a bit behind the knowledge curve. [USER=499435]@merrymunky[/USER] - my advice to you would be to take charge of your own health and to become your own knowledge base. There is a MASSIVE amount of experience and knowledge on this site, and with respect to the vast majority of HCPs an individual might encounter in a GP setting, they are unlikely to have the breadth of knowledge many people would like, if not need. I urge you to make these early days and weeks an invetment in your future, and the future of your loved ones. I have to say, the time I have spent has never left me wishing I had done less. [/QUOTE]
