Dear all,
I think there is a misunderstanding here - the question was not about
CPD in general but about CPD for people who are HPC registered and not
fellows of the RCPath.
I'm sorry, I have checked it before and I double-checked now - the
College clearly says that if you are planning to sit the exam you CANNOT
use their CPD scheme:
'Clinical scientists, irrespective of grade, who are actively involved
in training for FRCPath cannot participate in the CPD scheme. Clinical
scientists who are participating in the CPD scheme and later decide to
study for the FRCPath by examination should stop participating in the
scheme during this period of training. Upon attaining the FRCPath they
should re-commence CPD by beginning a new 5 year cycle.'

Dear Mailbase members
Just thought I'd correct any impression anyone may have that you need
FRCPath to participate in the College CPD scheme. All participants,
whether they are FRCPath or non-members paying the annual CPD fee, are
able to utilize the online CPD portfolio. From 1 January 2009, people
working in pathology but not eligible for membership of the College by
other routes will be able to gain Affiliate membership, by completing an
application form, which is reviewed by the
College. There is an annual charge for Affiliate status, and it will
not be possible to participate in the CPD scheme outside of the
Affiliate scheme or another recognized membership grade. There's much
more information at: http://www.rcpath.org/index.asp?PageID=620, and you
don't need a College login to access it!
Hope that's helpful.

Subject: How do you monitor CPD Activities?
Dear Mailbase Users
I wonder if people would be willing to share how they keep a record of
CPD
activities for maintaining state registration and what sort of
information you
record?
Whilst the HPC gives some guidance on the types of activities that would
be
recognised, there is little on the best way to record such activities -
do you
keep a log using IT facililties or do you just keep a hand written
document?
What sort of information do you actually record? Do you document that
you
have just been to a meeting or do you specifically keep a record of what
was
said at a meeting or what you learnt to try and improve your practice?
I have heard of some people utilisting the online RCPath CPD system, but
you
are only able to use this if you hold full FRCPath.
Any information or documents that you are willing to share would be
greatfully
appreciated.
Thanks
