Making a planned CPD entry – some pointers

Use this learning module about preventing microvascular complications of diabetes to make an entry in your revalidation record.

GPhC Q1. What are you planning to learn?
Tip: The GPhC expects this section to include three things – a learning objective, why this learning is relevant to your role and how this learning will benefit the people who use your services.

Learning objective: e.g. To enable myself and my team to provide support to people with diabetes by ensuring we are all up-to-date regarding microvascular complications such as nephropathy, retinopathy, and peripheral and autonomic neuropathies. 

Why this learning is relevant to my role?

GPhC Q2. How are you planning to learn it?
Tip: This section is for the learning activities you are going to do. Completing this module is one learning activity but make sure you include others that show how you will be able to apply your learning in practice.

• What will you and your team do to support patients with diabetes (or their carers) to ensure they receive optimal care?
• How will you make sure that members of your team understand their role in how your pharmacy manages patients with diabetes?
• What resources/information will you use to facilitate conversations with patients and their families about diabetes and preventing complications? (e.g. NHS website; NICE guidance)

GPhC Q3. Give an example of how this learning has benefited the people using your services
Tip: Here you need to include statements about how you envisage your team and/or your patients and/or local general practices will benefit from you refreshing your learning about diabetes care. Also include an example of how someone benefited as a result.

e.g. This learning will benefit my team by . . . 

e.g. An example of a customer/patient who benefited from my learning is. . . (Also explain why)
