Those who do not practise might leave the register

摘要

I disagree with Doublas Hancox (PJ, 26 October, p607). Surely the whole purpose of continuing professional development is to recognise fitness to practise. I would expect a psychiatrist to undertake totally different CPD from a general practitioner, and I would not expect a psychiatrist to undertake a locum in general practice without meeting the required standards of general practice.
