This booklet details the College's recommendations for CPD for psychiatrists in Ireland, in order to comply with the requirements of the Medical Council in Ireland.

To protect the public and to ensure continuous quality improvement and effective risk management, it is necessary for all consultants to be enrolled in CPD. The Medical Council document ‘Competence Assurance Structures — An Agenda for Implementation’ stipulates that 50% of all doctors on the register of medical specialists, or who are eligible for such registration, will be notified of their need to enrol in formal CPD programmes from 1 January 2003 onwards. The remaining 50% will be enrolled from 2004 onwards.

The following issues are covered: registration for CPD; CPD requirements; collection of CPD points; approval of external meetings; certification; special requirements; and reciprocity.
