UK Faculty of Public Health

Audit of CPD returns

Each year FPH undertakes a systematic CPD audit by means of a random sample of 10% of FPH's membership (excluding those who are in public health training, those who have retired from all public health practice and all others whom FPH has formally exempted). This number will change to 20% from 1 April 2012. From this date onwards FPH will start auditing one fifth of the membership every year, plus anyone with an unsatisfactory audit or who was exempted in the previous year. In addition to this, a further 2% of the membership will be randomly selected.

Those included in the annual audit will be requested to provide evidence of their CPD diary/portfolio, including:

• personal details
• Personal development plan (PDP)
• CPD log
• CPD return
• Reflective notes (i.e. evidence of active participation in CPD. Templates are included in the online diary and the CPD portfolio)
