CPD advice & support
Our CPD Scheme
We offer a CPD scheme to all practicing UK clinical oncologists and radiologists, aside from anyone in a training post. It focuses on reflection, the outcomes of CPD activities and recognising the value of online learning.
CPD Credits
You should aim to achieve at least 250 CPD credits over five years, with these as evenly spread as possible.
Activities that align with CPD
Activities across clinical, academic and professional environments align with CPD if you can demonstrate that they are genuinely developmental.

Enrolment in the CPD Scheme
Members that are not in training are able to create a CPD Journal in the MyRCR area.
Reflecting on your CPD
Additional credits can be claimed for reflecting on what you have learned, and on the long-term impacts on your professional practice and patient care. A reflective template has been incorporated into the CPD online journal and can be completed when you add an activity.
The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges has produced a reflective practice toolkit:
Academy and COPMeD reflective practice toolkit guidance (PDF)
This toolkit, which contains templates and examples of reflective styles, aims to provide best practice in the documentation of reflection on a variety of activities and events.
The Reflective Practitioner (PDF)
This short guide supports medical students, doctors in training and doctors engaging in revalidation on how to reflect as part of their practice.
