Excellence Within Pharmacy!

The GPHC has stated that almost 98% of pharmacists have met or exceeded the expected standards when submitting their CPD for review.
The Council said that of the 8,000 records reviewed in the first year of the process, 82% achieved an ‘excellent’ score, and a further 16% were rated as ‘good’.
65% of registrants removed themselves from the register after their CPD was called for review and 19 cases have been referred to the fitness to practice board due to health concerns. These concerns were either reported to the GPHC or became evident when registrants were contacted regarding their CPD records.
The GPHC is currently consulting on its CPD record procedures and the deadline for responses is 7th February 2011.
