We wish to remind all registrants that they need to complete their 2021/22 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) summary by 31 August. Following this deadline, you will have until 30 September to access and complete your CPD summary on the GCC Registrant Portal.

As part of this year’s CPD submission, registrants need to include self-reflection on their communication skills. To complete this, you must outline how your communication skills have enabled you to provide a safe and effective service to patients and how you have addressed or plan to address any areas identified for improvement. 

Visit our CPD section for more information on your CPD and Directed CPD requirements.

Completing and uploading your CPD advice to registrants

We strongly advise all registrants not to leave uploading their CPD summary until the final days to avoid any technical issues preventing you from meeting the deadline. 

We also recommend completing your CPD activity in Word and cutting and pasting the content into your online CPD summary. By doing this, you will have a saved copy of your CPD summary and avoid time out, system or internet connection issues, resulting in the loss of all your work. This has happened on several occasions.

Additional requirements for new registrants

Additional CPD requirements have been introduced for new registrants. They must reflect on their skills, experiences, and understanding in the areas of: 

  • Standards-based care (including evidence-based practice),
  • Clinical audit,
  • Safety incident reporting and learning,
  • Patient recorded outcomes/patient satisfaction measures,
  • Reflective practice,

and to consider, address and report any aspects that may need strengthening in their annual CPD return.

Additional guidance and information for new registrants can be found on the CPD section of the GCC website (5th pulldown tab)
