AoMRC Standards and Criteria for CPD Activities – A Framework for Accreditation
The Directors of Continuing Professional Development (DoCPD) of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC) Committee comprises representatives from all the 20 Colleges and Faculties, the General Medical Council (GMC) and the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM). Since 2008 the DoCPD Committee has been reviewing Continuing Professional Development schemes to harmonise them across all Colleges and Faculties in preparation for the introduction of revalidation.
The latest publication from this group is 'Standards and Criteria for CPD activities, a Framework for Accreditation'.
The accreditation process is based on the following aims, which are reflected in the standards and criteria:
- To ensure that the content of the event is relevant to the CPD of career grade doctors
- To increase the learning to be gained from CPD activities
- To minimise bias and conflicts of interest
- To encourage the appropriate evaluation of educational activities
- To maintain a published list of accredited activities to aid the completion of CPD portfolios
- To provide a transparent process open to scrutiny
- To provide a thorough but also administratively simple and flexible process
