Chris Kennedy, our Revalidation & CPD Co-ordinator reflects on our CPD event accreditation scheme during the previous calendar year.
We continue to welcome applications for CPD accreditation of courses and events, and those that are approved are featured in the Lifelong Learning Platform (LLP) and on our website.
During 2023 we have received more than 950 applications for CPD accreditation. The numbers received by month were typically between 70–80 applications, but the months of March and September were particularly busy with 112 and 92 respectively received. This is an increase by more than 50 when compared against the same reporting period from last year.
Some progress is being made in improving perioperative care for patients undergoing major surgery, but more focus is needed on individualised risk assessment, effective postoperative pain management and support with DRinking, EAting and Mobilising.

They discuss why patients, the surgical multidisciplinary team (MDT), and organisations should be interested in this quality improvement metric.
