Random audit of pharmacists' CPD records moves closer after evaluation

摘要

The introduction of a random audit of pharmacists' continuing professional development (CPD) records is looking more likely following an evaluation of the current "call and review" system that requires individuals to present their CPD evidence routinely every five years. The move, according to the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), would help keep pharmacists engaged with CPD because they would never be sure if their record was going to be called in for scrutiny. Pharmacists would also be more likely to update their CPD record regularly, rath er than the common practice of completing the paperwork when drey approach their call and review deadline.
