Episode description

From 2019, there will be only three categories of activities in the RACP's CPD framework, encouraging Fellows to participate in performance review and outcome measurement alongside more traditional educational activities. Performance review can include collegiate exercises like peer review of case outcomes, or surveys of patient experiences. Multi-source feedback is one sophisticated example that has been trialled by the RACP. Outcome measurement typically refers to clinical audits of case notes and there are many forms that can easily be implemented by Fellows. In this episode, two New Zealand Fellows discuss what they've learned about this 'strengthened CPD' approach since it was nationally implemented there four years ago.
