Why we’re reviewing CPD

Reviewing the framework with care, evidence and transparency

We are reviewing the GCC’s CPD framework and process to understand whether it continues to support professional learning in a way that is proportionate, evidence-based and fit for the current context.

This work is part of a broader strategic period and is being approached in phases. It is intended to build understanding first, rather than introduce sudden change.

We are reviewing the framework and process. We are not changing everything at once, and any future decisions will be considered through the GCC’s established governance arrangements.

Key points

  • The CPD model was last comprehensively evaluated in 2018.
  • The review forms part of the GCC’s strategic planning period for 2026–2030.
  • The aim is to ensure the model remains compliant, contemporary and informed by evidence and risk.

What we’re doing

Four areas of work guiding the review

The first phase of the review is focused on understanding the current position, gathering evidence and building a strong basis for future decisions.

Research is continuing across the main review workstreams

  • We continued work on legislative analysis and the broader CPD landscape.
  • We discussed where clearer definitions and guidance may help registrants.
  • We refined plans for engagement and how updates will be shared transparently.
  • Next, we will continue evidence gathering and share further opportunities to contribute.

We will explain how feedback is being used as the review progresses. Any personal data shared through engagement activity will be handled in line with the GCC’s privacy and data handling arrangements.
