A PDP is a plan that outlines how you would like your CPD to address your learning goals for that year. <br /> <br /> The <strong>PDP is your personal and private document.

You can claim up to five hours (capped) of Reviewing Performance annually for completion of your PDP. <br />  <br /> The <strong>RACGP’s PDP is composed of six questions</strong>. It captures your current situation, learning goals, reflection on culturally safe practice, health inequities, professionalism and ethical practice and an annual reflection. <br />  <br /> At the beginning of each year, you will <strong>reflect on the previous year</strong>, and update your PDP for the year ahead.

It is a one-way intake of information.  <br />  <br /> <strong>Reviewing Performance </strong> <br /> Activities that require reflection on feedback about your work. Feedback might be from patients, peers or self-reflection.

Meaningful reflection on this information is where the learning occurs and can result in improved capability in your scope of practice. Our <a href="https://portal.racgp.org.au/CPD/GPActivityNotification/d6141cf5-6d49-4569-9ed5-1509dc52a3e3" target="_blank">Reviewing Performance tool</a> can help you do this.   <br />  <br /> <strong>Measuring Outcomes </strong> <br /> Activities that use your work data to ensure quality results. When measuring outcomes, you use data from your work to show you’re aware of current evidence and best practice in a particular area. You could achieve this by conducting activities like research, audits or evaluations. This type of learning can help you achieve high-quality performance in your scope of practice by facilitating quality improvements. Use our <a href="https://portal.racgp.org.au/CPD/GPActivityNotification/6d3b8bf9-9e7f-4acb-a73a-5db133a4f29f" target="_blank">Measuring Outcomes tool</a> to record quality improvement or assurance activities. <br />  <br /> <strong>Hybrid Activities</strong> <br /> Many CPD activities include more than one activity type. High quality educational activities like workshops, courses, small group learning, for example, are designed to be interactive and offer opportunities for you to consider how to apply your new knowledge or skills in your practice setting. The <a href="https://mycpd.racgp.org.au/browse" target="_blank">RACGP and our providers</a> offer a broad range of hybrid activities across the three activity types.  <br />  <br /> When you self-record the activities you do in your <a href="/education/professional-development/cpd/2023-triennium/cpd-activities-in-your-practice" target="_blank">day-to-day practice</a> (using <a href="https://mycpd.racgp.org.au/log" target="_blank">Quick Log</a>), you also can allocate the CPD hours across the three activity types.

The MBA requires that CPD homes audit at least five percent of practitioners’ CPD records annually.  <br />  <br /> The RACGP's Quality Assurance Audit policy is available <a href="/education/professional-development/cpd/2023-triennium/cpd-policies-and-guidelines/cpd-quality-assurance-and-compliance-framework" target="_blank">here</a>.  <br />  <br /> <strong>How do I record my activities accurately to ensure I meet audit requirements?</strong> <br /> There are several ways to ensure you meet audit requirements.   <ul> <li>Add sufficient detail to the activity title in Quick log when self-recording activities. Use the drop-down options but add extra information such as the clinical/practice topic, organisation, or date. </li> <li>Provide sufficient detail in the reflection to indicate what you have learned from the activity. Provide extra information that may not fit in the title.  </li> <li>We strongly recommend uploading evidence. Though this is optional it is useful as a) it is an additional repository of evidence to your own system; b) it allows CPD Program Coordinators to assess whether the evidence provided justifies the hours and CPD types claimed.  </li> <li>Ensure your reflection and/or evidence uploaded justifies the hours and CPD types claimed. I.e., if you are claiming MO, indicate how patient/work data was used. A detailed reflection or provision of evidence allows the CPD Program Coordinator to review the activity and communications will only be instigated if they have questions or recommendations.  </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <a href="#panel102079" class="campaign-accordion-group collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#panel102079" aria-expanded="true" aria-controls="panel102079"> <div class="d-flex flex-row flex-md-row position-relative align-items-center campaign-accordion-item py-3"> <div class="d-flex flex-column flex-md-row flex-wrap campaign-accordion-flex-group h-100 align-items-center"> <div class="campaign-accordion-title w-100"><h3 style="font-family:Lato; font-weight:bold;">What if I am unhappy with the result of an audit of my CPD or I disagree with the RACGP's decision relating to my CPD requirements?
