Strengthening CPD

In 2014 the MBA commenced a consultation process around what it referred to at the time as Revalidation. In November 2017 it announced the development of the five-pillared Professional Performance Framework. The framework includes strengthening CPD and assurance of safe practice.
 
As an Australian-registered doctor you will have a CPD Home relevant to your scope of practice. An annual personal professional development plan along with outcome measurement and performance review will be mandated by the MBA. Activities such as multi-source feedback and clinical audit may become a requirement. Peer review and health checks are also being considered by the MBA for individual doctors in ‘at risk’ categories, such as professional isolation and over the age of 70.

 The ACEM CPD Committee has considered the MBA PPF and how this will impact the ACEM CPD programs in the future. You will be invited to provide input into how the College can support you to complete these requirements once fully identified and regulated by the MBA. Any consultation process will be made available to you via this webpage.

In 2015 the MCNZ commenced a consultation process around its Vision for Strengthening Recertification and CPD for doctors registered in Vocational Scope of Practice in New Zealand, with a discussion document released in September 2018.
 
The Recertification Working Group have developed a strengthened recertification approach and in April 2019 the MCNZ has released their Draft Model of the ‘Recertification requirements for vocationally-registered doctors practising in New Zealand’.  
 
As with the MBA requirements, the CPD Committee is considering the impact this will have on your requirements. You will be invited to provide input into how the College can support you to complete these requirements once fully identified and regulated by the MCNZ. Any consultation process will be made available to you via this webpage.
