Can I obtain external CPD credits from online learning?

Yes, you can record eLearning modules that have an assessment element and certificate of completion for external CPD credits. You can view ICGP elearning modules here and these are free to all ICGP members. You can also avail of external CPD through participation in the ICGP webinars.

We recommend that, where possible, you attend some activity each year that allows you an opportunity to interact with your colleagues. For example, CME small group meetings or faculty meetings are a great way to obtain CPD credits while also having an opportunity to engage with GPs in your own area. Likewise, conferences and seminars offer a chance to update knowledge and skills while networking with other GPs. Remember that your CPD activity should reflect all aspects of your practice and the 8 Domains of Good Professional Practice as recommended by the Medical Council.
