On reviewing the Professional Competence Annual Statements of Participation for the period 2012 – 2013, we note that many doctors have not recorded any CPD credits or a clinical audit for the 2012 – 2013 Professional Competence Scheme term. Maintenance of professional competence is a flexible, self-directed and practice based process for which you are responsible.

We would encourage you to start recording your CPD activity and if you have any difficulty with this, please do not hesitate to contact pcs@rcsi.ie / 01 402 2743 in order that we can assist you with this.

We would like to offer assistance to practitioners who, for whatever reason, find it difficult to comply with the Medical Council requirements. If you feel you need additional support in meeting these requirements going forward, we would be happy to provide this where resources permit. Please email us on pcs@rcsi.ie to set out your requirements or arrange to meet with the PCS team.
