The RPSGB would like to know what you think about CPD and is inviting all practising pharmacists and registered pharmacy technicians to take part in an independent international survey organised by the Professional Associations Research Network.

The survey, which aims to discover how members of professional bodies feel about the CPD they undertake, is being sent to approximately 1,000,000 individual professionals. It asks questions about your attitudes towards CPD, how much and what kind you do. More specifically it is interested in how you feel about learning online and about higher education institutes as CPD suppliers.

As CPD features so highly in our future, your answers are particularly important to the Society. They will help to shape the future of CPD and the direction of online technologies as we move towards the development of the General Pharmaceutical Council and a new Professional Body. Both of these new organisations will have a role in the development and practice of CPD in pharmacy. Your opinions are, therefore, essential so we asking you to please take 15 minutes to complete the survey. You can complete it in more than one session if you wish. Your responses will be reported back to the Society anonymously.

This is an important opportunity to let the RPSGB know what you think about CPD. Please click on the link below to tell us what you think.

CPD Online has been updated since the close of pilots A and B in response to feedback from pilot participants.

A facility has been included to allow the printing of feedback reports.

The record submission process has also been updated. Previously for an entry not to be included in the submission of a CPD record you would have to go into the properties section of each individual entry and uncheck the checkbox that says "Include in my submission to the Society".
This process has been simplified so that when the submit button is pressed you are presented with a CPD Record Submission box with a list of all your CPD entries. You can then uncheck any entries you do not wish to submit to the Society, without having to enter the properties section of each individual entry.
Please note you will only have a submission button available in your CPD record if you have been invited to submit your CPD record as part of the CPD pilot. Once your record has been submitted the submit button will no longer be visible.

CPD Online version 3 is now released. The new version is designed to make it easier for registrants to record their CPD because it will provide them with greater flexibility in the way they complete their records online. Users can now start a CPD record from any point in the learning cycle including reflection, planning, action and evaluation. A wizard is provided to assist users in determining which form they should use to most accurately describe and record their learning experience. Version 3 also allows users to more closely associate competencies with individuals by allowing them to select relevant competencies in their profile. More information about version 3 can be found in the FAQs section.
