FREE Verifiable CPDFed up with paying hundreds of pounds to get your CPD? Too busy to take a day out of practice? DPA members can get FREE Verifiable CPD through the GDP magazine. Packed full of news and developments in dental practice, both NHS and private, the bi-monthly GDP is a big hit with busy professionals who want CPD aimed at dental care professionals in an easy to digest package.
The GDC recommends at least 10 hours on medical emergencies, 5 hours on disinfection and decontamination and 5 hours on radiography and radiation protection, plus legal and ethical issues and complaints handling, in each five-year cycle.
To get your FREE Verifiable CPD, read the latest copy of the GDP magazine, log in to this Web site and then follow the link to the CPD Quiz. Complete the quiz on-line and, if you have attained the pass mark, we will send you a certificate of participation (free to members only). Our CPD activity has concise educational aims and objectives, clear anticipated outcomes, is quality controlled and is backed up with documentary proof of participation from the DPA. All CPD obtained from the DPA complies with the GDC’s guidelines in “Standards for Dental Professionals” and counts towards your verified CPD total.
All DPA-provided CPD meets the educational criteria required for verifiable Continuing Professional Development under the General Dental Council Lifelong Learning scheme and represents hours of verifiable CPD. Dentists must complete, and keep records of, at least 250 hours of CPD over five years. A minimum of 75 of these hours must be verifiable.
