30 July - CET providers' consultation event

This year we’re looking at how CET can be improved for the future and how it will form part of revalidation from 2013.

As part of this research, we’re inviting CET providers to join us in Birmingham on 30 July to discuss their experiences of CET. We want providers to share their ideas of how we can improve CET to make sure it remains practical, relevant and valuable for all practitioners.

This event will be specifically tailored for providers of CET. It will ask how CET provision can be developed, particularly in terms of peer review and clinical skills workshops. The event will also look at barriers to completing these two types of CET.

Additionally, we will update delegates on our current proposals for CET and revalidation after 2012. You can download a full draft agenda:
