The 2008-2010 Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) triennium requires GPs to earn 130 CPD points of which 80 are compulsory Category 1 points and the remainder are Category 2 points. CPR training is mandatory and earns 5 CPD points.

The GPCE ALM program gives you the opportunity to gain Category 1 and 2 CPD points over three days.

Active Learning Modules – (40 Category 1 CPD points)

Category 1 Points – 40 CPD points

Participating in the ALM program is only available to those who have applied for it and complete a predisposing activity, an evaluation and reflective activity.

To complete an ALM stream you must complete six hours of activity. At least 4 of the 6 sessions (hours) must be interactive workshops - the other two can be either seminars or workshops.

How to claim for Category 1 points:

1. On the registration form mark the appropriate box of your chosen ALM and then mark your 6 sessions
2. Four weeks prior to the conference you will need to download your ALM pre-disposing activity from the GPCE website.
3. Complete the pre-disposing activities/ case studies set out for your chosen ALM; this will need to be placed in the collection box at the conference (next to the registration desk in the foyer).
4. Attend your 6 sessions (hours) at the GPCE.
5. Complete the evaluation form and reflective activity with your QI number; this also needs to be placed in the collection box at the conference (next to the registration desk in the foyer).
6. Checklist for handing in your material: Certificate of Attendance, QI number, pre-disposing material, ALM evaluation form & reflective activity & daily delegate surveys (given to you in your delegate pack).

Failing to submit any of the above or not attending 6 sessions within your stream will result in you only being able to claim for Category 2 CPD points.

Category 2 Points – 2 points per hour

All activities will be submitted to the RACGP QI & CPD program.

How to claim for Category 2 points:

1. Select sessions
2. Attend the conference
3. Complete the evaluation form with your QI number
4. Checklist for handing in your material: Certificate of Attendance, QI number, daily delegate surveys (given to you in your delegate pack).

How do I get my QA & CPD points?

On your last day at the conference hand in your signed certificate of attendance and other paperwork as listed above. This material will be collected and taken back to our offices ready to be collated for accreditation.

Once this has been done we will inform you of any paperwork that is missing. Within four weeks of the conference your points will be sent to the RACGP and a copy of your certificate of attendance will be sent to you in the post. The RACGP will send you out your statement with the points allocated for that triennium with their next quarterly update.
