Verifiable CPD
Webinars meet the GDC requirements for verifiable CPD:
- Clear learning aims, objectives and outcomes so that participants know exactly how each webinar will help to develop and improve their own CPD
- An evaluation is completed after the event so participants are able to comment on the experience and help us to improve the quality of our services
- A certificate is available to download on completion of the evaluation
Recordings
Unlike conventional lectures we publish a recording that is available to view until the next live event. This is ideal if you were unable to attend the live event or wish to review the presentation. CPD certification is available on completion of the recording and evaluation if you miss the live event.
On-demand webinar
Most events are are edited and converted into an on-demand version. This includes CPD questions, a discussion forum and links to related resources. The on-demand webinars may be purchased individually or are included with our annual subscription bundles.
