Society Launches Updated CPD Recording System

An improved Continuing Professional Development (CPD) recording system is being launched by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. This has been created as a result of feedback received from users of the CPD recording system, CPD stakeholders, along with the outcomes of the 2007-8 CPD pilot and the recommendations from research conducted by the Welsh School of Pharmacy. The new version, named V4 online and 1.4 on paper, aims to simplify how entries are made and will make the review and feedback process more user-friendly. Janet Flint, Head of Support Staff Regulation, says; "We are excited to be at the point of launching the new CPD recording system which is easier to use and fit for the 21st century. We encourage all pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to use the online version, where possible, but we have also updated the paper version." "CPD is an important aspect of ensuring pharmacists" and pharmacy technicians" career skills are up to date and that they are giving the public the best possible service. This tool should make the CPD requirement easier to record." Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians will be able to access the new online recording system by visiting http://www.uptodate.org.uk The CPD background material, case studies and answers to frequently-asked questions have also been updated and may be accessed via the CPD website. The version 1.4 CPD paper packs can be ordered by calling the pack request line on: 020 7572 2514. Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain
