The RCOphth offers an Approval of CPD Points service where the academic quality of events run by commercial organisations is demonstrated by valid aims and objectives. The service attracts a £300 + VAT administrative fee. Late applications will incur in a surcharge. The approval service for non-commercial organisations (e.g. hospitals, specialist societies) is no longer available.
To apply for CPD points please follow the link to CPD Resources , scroll to the bottom of the page to read the Guidance for CPD Approval, download the CPD Application Form template and accompany it with the event’s programme before submission to [email protected] .
Approved events may run multiple times over a 12-month period without further applications providing that the content, speakers and hours of educational content remain the same as stipulated in the original application.
