FREE GENERAL (NON-VERIFIABLE) CPD

Everyone at my practice said once you've done your 50 hours verified than any extra verified you do you can put down as general so yes thats fine x

As far as I am aware, you still have to do the full amounts. So if you did 70 hours verifiable- you'd still have to do 100 unverifiable anyway. xx

Hello,

So, if I were to complete say 70 hours of verified CPD, would that reduce the amount of non-verifiable CPD to 80 hours?

Thanks

Jo-Anne, put down however long it takes you to read it =)

how many hours non-verifiable CPD would you say was in 1 vital magazine - i subscribe but im unsure how many hours per issue to put down. thank you

Hi DN's,

We just wanted to remind you their is tonnes of free non-verifiable CPD on this site and the forum is also considered general CPD.

Here is what the GDC say about General CPD:

'What information must I record for general CPD activity?

You could monitor what reading you undertake over a short period, perhaps one-week, and take a judgement as to whether that was typical. This information could then be used to summarise your monthly reading, for example, the BDJ together with other journals could contribute 10 hours of general CPD per month, perhaps more. It might be useful to use your notes to record articles of particular interest, and use your CPD record as a reference source. This is not necessary if you are able to meet the CPD requirements entirely through verifiable activity.' Read more..
