Q. How many CPD points do these meetings attract?
A. This depends on the length of the meeting and is subject to approval from the Federation of Royal Colleges. In the past, our meetings have been approved for up to 8 CPD points. Each meeting programme has to be submitted to the Royal College for review and approval - so we can only confirm this nearer the meeting itself. Your Certificate of Attendance will state the RCP Activity Code and points accrued.
