CPD Recognition

Recognition of Educational Events for External Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

The ICGP is the body responsible for recognising educational events/activities for general practitioners for purposes of external continuing professional development (CPD) and GMS study leave.

To apply for CPD recognition, please do the following:

• Refer to the ICGP Guidelines for the Recognition of External Events for Continuing Professional Development and the ICGP sponsorship policy document before submitting your application.
• Complete all sections of the application form (below) and email in word format with relevant documentation to carol.white@icgp.ie at least four weeks prior to the event.

Please note: We do not accept applications for events that have already occurred.

Valid applications are usually processed within a 2-4 week timeframe and confirmation is then issued by email. Applications requiring further details and possibly a review by the Director of Education and/or the Professional Competence Committee may prolong the process considerably.

Should you require clarification or further information in respect of CPD recognition, please email your query to carol.white@icgp.ie.
