CPD activity types

With our GP Clinical Advisors, WVPHN designs an annual education program tailored to the meet the needs of our GPs, the local patient population and our health system. As an accredited CPD provider, you can rely on us to provide high-quality education that meets the requirements of the colleges.

We are working very closely with the Practice Facilitation team to develop Quality Improvement activities that will sit alongside our CPD offerings. This will allow you to work independently, or with other members of your practice, to complete Measuring Outcomes and Reviewing Performance activities.

Annual CPD minimum requirements for General Practitioners

Your 50 hours of CPD per calendar year must be made up of a minimum number of hours in each of the 3 activity types:

1. Educational Activities (EA) 12.5 hours
2. Reviewing Performance (RP)
3. Measuring Outcomes (MO)

The upper left quadrant shows that 12.5 hours must come from Educational Activities.

The right half shows that 25 hours must come from a combination of Reviewing Performance and Measuring Outcomes activities, with a minimum of 5 hours allocated to each type.

The remaining 12 and a half hours can be made up by any of the three activity types.

See below a few examples of completing your annual CPD requirements with WVPHN.
