Evidence of continuing professional development is vital for revalidation, the emphasis being on identifying and addressing learning needs. The University of Glasgow, in conjunction with the West of Scotland Faculty of the Royal College of General Practitioners and NHS Education for Scotland, has developed a series of evening meetings to enable general practitioners to address practical patient management issues and, at the same time, demonstrate learning gain. 

General information

These activities are approved by GPPC, provide high standard of education and undoubtedly will be acceptable for the purposes of appraisal and revalidation. If you also bring along a case for discussion at the meeting, as above, or carry out any form of audit this will attract additional CPD credits.
