CPD event approval
The Royal Colleges of Physicians approve external CPD events for post-training physicians. Only approved external events will appear on the RCP online database available through the CPD diary.
External events are defined as educational events which are targeted towards physicians from multiple hospitals and trusts. External events may be regional, national or international in character.
The RCP does not approve internal CPD events or personal CPD activities. Internal events are those which are targeted solely at physicians within one hospital or trust, while personal CPD activities are those educational activities which physicians undertake informally in their own time. There is no formal approvals process for these activities.
