We strongly recommend applications are submitted at least two months in advance of the event date. As of 31 March 2024, applications for approval submitted after a CPD event has taken place will no longer be accepted.

If you need to change or cancel your application, please contact the team as soon as possible at cpdapproval@rcp.ac.uk with the details of your application. 

The review process can take up to 8 weeks and does not commence until the date of payment. For this reason we recommend submitting your application at least two months prior to your event date. Please note that some distance learning, e-learning and e-platform applications can take up to 12 weeks depending on the size of the application and should be applied for earlier than other application types. 

If you require a VAT receipt please email the team at cpdapproval@rcp.ac.uk with your application details so they can provide this for you.

Please note that invoices are provided via a self-generated system. A copy of your invoice can be found on your provider account through the tabs where you can see the application status. There is a document icon that will allow you to access the invoice.

The fees for your application will depend on your organisation and application type. Please refer to our fees document for further information.

The Federation provides 1 credit for each hour of CPD provided with the maximum number of credits being 8 per day. Registration, refreshment breaks, and time spent in the commercial exhibition or meeting commercial representatives cannot be included. Business meetings within an event would not usually be counted. We do not at present provide half credits, therefore the number of hours for credit purposes is rounded to the nearest number of whole hours.
