Transitional Arrangement
The Voluntary CPD Scheme has
ended on 31 December 2023. Please note that no CPD certificates will be issued under the Mandatory CPD Scheme. Two types of final CPD certificates for the last reporting cycle under the Voluntary CPD Scheme are issued as follows –
-
Reporting period starting on 1 January 2022
An RVS may apply for a CPD certificate for the whole 2-year reporting period (i.e. 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023).
-
Reporting period starting on 1 January 2023
In view of the end of the Voluntary CPD Scheme, an RVS may only apply for a CPD certificate with a 1-year reporting period (i.e. 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023) instead of a 2-year reporting period. Pro-rated CPD requirement (i.e. 20 CPD points, with at least 12.5 points under “structured activities”) will be required to qualify for a CPD certificate for the said adjusted reporting period.
CPD points obtained during the quarter from 1 October 2023 to 31 December 2023 (when the Voluntary and Mandatory CPD Schemes will overlap) may count towards both the Voluntary and Mandatory CPD Schemes.
RVSs who have been awarded a CPD certificate under the Voluntary CPD Scheme may publicise their CPD attainment of participation in CPD activities up to 31 December 2025.
With effect from 1 January 2026, no business cards of RVSs shall bear any statement concerning CPD certification (including those for previous reporting periods); and expired CPD certificates must not be displayed at RVSs’ practices. The Board will cease publishing information on the latest “CPD Certified Period” of RVSs on its website from 1 January 2026.
