Abstract:
With the introduction of revalidation, continuing professional development (CPD) is becoming an increasingly important part of a surgeon's professional life. There is minimal existing information describing the CPD practices and attitudes of surgeons to CPD. This review describes the current CPD expectations of the General Medical Council and the current CPD activities and attitudes of surgeons, based around the results of an on-line study performed by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
