Guidance for enhanced CPD (for readers of Dental Update)

With the introduction of Enhanced CPD in January we've seen many changes to the way CPD is approached, planned and documented. In December we wrote about the main changes and confirmed that from January our CPD certificates would fully meet all the GDC's Enhanced CPD requirements. We also ensured each article clearly stated which development outcome (A–D) it related to and marked this clearly in each title. The majority of our articles are Development Outcome C – clinical domain. In order to meet the GDC's requirements, at least one development outcome is required per CPD activity.

Since January we've made more changes to help make the transition as smooth and painless as possible.

We've summarized the main points from the documentation available on the GDC website on Enhanced CPD and created Guidance Notes for our subscribers. These Guidance Notes are intended as a summary of the main points to consider and provide confirmation of what, when and how the GDC states that they require information to be documented. These Guidance Notes are now available for all subscribers online a www.dental-update.co.uk
