FLYING PENGUINS
CPD
Continuing Professional Development
In recent years the Medical Board of Australia CPD Registration Standard has introduced new requirements, resulting in major changes for all clinicians. Each year, content for the conference is updated to comply with changes across the Colleges.
Due to the top-down nature of the reform, CPD requirements are almost identical across Colleges.
Flying Penguins is attended by a diverse range of clinical specialist from many Colleges, but most attendee's are under RACP who do not provide prior accreditation for organised private CPD activities. All efforts have been made to ensure compliance, past attendees have undergone random CPD audit without any difficulties. Delegates are encouraged to contact their College if seeking further clarification.
Flying Penguins workshops have been designed with the intention of adhering with CPD guidelines for Categories 2 and 3, which are the most elusive in day to day practice. With the addition of suggested workshop pre-reading as Category 1 activities, and audit - survey material that will be sent prior to workshops, conference delegates are able to complete all annual requirements.
Catagory 1: Education activities
Catatory 2: Reviewing performance
Catagory 3: Measuring outcomes
Annual Conversation, PDP, Cultural Safety/ Health Equity training activities
The Flying Penguins Workbook and Conference Participation Certificate provide evidence of CPD compliance and completion. These will be sent to delegates on the final day of the conference to allow immediate upload and completion of CPD requirements. The Certficate displays conference activities and pre-conference readings, allowing delegates to enter their own hours for each to allow for variation in time spent.
Delegates receive an eWorkbook with readings & learning tasks before the conference. These allow completion of all CPD tasks. A hard copy workbook will be provided at registration containing
