HPC for CPD: 6 months to go (PPT 6.5 MB)
On 28th May, Ian Sturdgess East Midlands Council Member gave a talk titled 'HPC for CPD: 6 months to go' at Kettering General Hospital. Ian reminded those present that the clock is ticking and those selected for CPD audit will be receiving their letters in September along with their HPC renewals. Ian discussed all 5 standards including the ammedment proposed to Standard 5 due to a third party producing 'ready prepared' profiles for registered practitioners. He then went on to discuss the assessment process with information that he has obtained through discussion with members of the HPC. A number of information sources were then aluded to including a video stream that is accessible from the HPC website. A lively Q&A session followed with a number of issues being raised.
