Continuing Professional Development
Participation in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is core to the practice of all disciplines of medicine. The Faculty, along with each other Medical College and Faculty, has developed guidance on appropriate CPD for doctors working within the disciplines it represents and hopes, in due course to develop further resources for planning and recording CPD activities.
Faculty CPD guidelines
The Faculty CPD guidelines have been developed to match the principles agreed by the Directors of CPD (DoCPD) Committee of the Academy of Royal Medical Colleges. The guidelines may be used by those working within the fields of forensic and legal medicine as a part of the framework on which to base revalidation according to General Medical Council (GMC).

If you are running a course / event and would like to attain CPD approval, please apply using the CPD Course Approval Application Form. Courses will be assessed against the core competencies identified by the Faculty for those practising in Forensic and Legal Medicine and CPD points will be awarded for each hour of course content judged to fall within the qualifying criteria. No 'part-credits' will be awarded so courses will only be awarded credits for the total number of whole hours of relevant activity provided.
