GMC regulation brings formal CPD obligations for PAs — similar to the requirements for doctors.
GMC CPD requirements for PAs: Evolving under the new regulatory framework — verify specific requirements on the GMC website. Likely to mirror elements of medical revalidation (annual appraisal, five-yearly revalidation).
Evidence types: Clinical learning, courses and conferences, reflective practice, audit and quality improvement, colleague feedback.
Tools: iatroX CPD module (maps learning to professional domains), BMJ Learning, conferences, local education events.
Start early: Begin documenting CPD from qualification — the habit is easier to build than retrospectively evidence.
iatroX's CPD module supports structured professional development — the same tool used by GPs, now relevant to PAs under shared GMC regulation.
