Can I claim External CPD Credits for Distance Learning or online activities?
You may only claim external credits for Distance learning courses which have been approved by the RCP. You may find all approved distance learning courses by searching for the course in the distance learning field of the ‘Add Entries’ page of the CPD Diary. Only the first 7 CPD credits towards the annual minimum requirements for external credits, and the rest will be counted as personal credits. All other distance learning courses (i.e. all that are not approved and may not be found be searching in CPD Diary database) should be claimed as personal CPD credits.
