To have a CPD Activity appraised, the Author of the Activity must complete Form 2 and agree to the terms and conditions prescribed on the form and CPD Appraisal Document V10.1.0.

See below for further guidance on how to complete Form 2.

The title should be unique so the presentation can be easily identifiable and not confused with other appraised presentations.

 

CPD points are allocated on the basis of 8 per hour (2 per 15 minutes) or as per model points allocation.  An activity requires a minimum duration of 30 minutes.  The duration time includes time for the activity, revision task and questions.  Revision task and question time is expected to occupy approx 10 mins per hour, so as a guide, your session plan should be as follows:

 

The Author must provide evidence that:

• The author of the activity has sufficient knowledge of the subject;
• The author has suitable presentation skills required to deliver or administer the activity.

This evidence is best provided in a “Capability Statement”.  This is not meant to be a detailed CV of the author, but simply a statement of their experience and reputation in this activity along with their experience and qualifications (if any) in delivery of such presentations or directing similar activities.  The designer (author) of the activity will be responsible for keeping the content up to date and, if appropriate, delegate to others responsibility for presenting the activity (Delegated Activity Presenters).

 

All activities require a handout that provides a reminder and reference point for the attendee at future points in time.  An example of a handout is included in Appendix 1.  In order to meet the requirements of the appraisal system, the handout must:

 

The aims of the presentation must be included in the handout and be obvious to the intended audience.  It is a brief statement of the outcome from the activity.

 

The major points of the activity must be included in the handout and the material should enable attendees to review the material at a later date.
