Abstract:

WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN IN THIS AREA

• Recent significant changes in primary care have affected the organisation of continuing professional development (CPD).

• Plans for revalidation are likely to impact upon CPD management.

• Many deaneries have experienced financial threats to educational support for CPD.

WHAT THIS WORK ADDS

• Considerable variance exists in models of CPD management across UK deaneries.

• Centralised management systems may better support CPD and appraisal.

• GP tutor networks are a valued resource for CPD management, particularly if they draw together deanery, Royal College and primary care organisations.

SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH

•The impact of revalidation on CPD provision and management.
