Are my specific interest requirements (Women’s health, Anaesthetics, Medical acupuncture, Breast Medicine, Diagnostic radiology, Mental health or Surgery) in addition to the QA&CPD requirements ?
No, special interest point requirements integrate within overall QA&CPD point requirements. Many GPs have requirements with other colleges or similar groups to maintain recognition of particular skills or qualifications. These requirements are negotiated between the RACGP and the other colleges. The RACGP aims to negotiate manageable requirements that ensure an appropriate standard enabling GPs to meet the requirements from several bodies without difficulty. All approved activities count towards the overall QA&CPD requirements and are not in addition. Your credit point statements include a summary of the points accrued in the specific interest areas of Women’s health, Anaesthesia, Medical acupuncture, Radiology, Mental health, Surgery, and Breast medicine. Information on specific interest requirements is available online.
