We are currently consulting on our CPD scheme and on a proposal to reduce the GOsC registration fee.
The CPD Discussion Document looks at the purpose and structure of our CPD scheme. It outlines some of the challenges of the current CPD scheme and some ways in which the scheme might be improved.
The document is designed to generate debate during the course of the Revalidation Pilot, which will end in October 2012. Responses to the discussion document, along with the evaluation and impact assessment of the draft revalidation scheme, will help to inform proposals for improving the CPD scheme, which will be consulted on during 2013-14.
We hope that all those with an interest in osteopathy will contribute to the debate.
This includes patients and the public, osteopaths who are taking part in the Revalidation Pilot, osteopaths who are not taking part in the Pilot, those involved in education and training, those involved in specialist practice, other regulators, other health care professionals and all other interested parties.
