The online BGS Autumn Meeting 2021 (24-26 November 2021) is running a stream on Community care for older people on Wednesday 24 November.

We would be particularly glad to hear from those in training roles. If you would like to present, or could suggest a local service as an example, please email Geraint Collingridge at conferences [at] bgs [dot] org [dot] uk by 30th July 2021.

Distance Learning
For the 2020/21 CPD year there will be no limit to the number of external credits that can be claimed for distance learning. In addition to the maximum of 10 approved distance learning credits, you may add under the ‘Add Approved Entry’ tab, you may also add unlisted distance learning under the ‘Add Self-Certified Entry’ tab under the ‘Distance Learning’ sub-section. You will need to add them as an ‘External Self-Certified Distance Learning, Clinical or Non-Clinical’. Reading articles in online journals and e-libraries that are not approved should still be recorded as personal self-certified distance learning. Online mandatory training required by your employer should still be recorded as internal CPD.
