How do I record my CPD?
We have introduced a new digital recording platform, 1CPD, for vets and vet nurses to manage their CPD. This replaced the online Professional Development Record (PDR) from 27 January 2020.
1CPD makes it straightforward for you to plan, record and reflect on your CPD. It is available as an app for iOS and Android, as well as a web version. It incorporates features such as image uploads and voice recording, intuitive features that support the need to reflect on your CPD and the impact it has on your patients and/or practice.
1CPD makes it possible for you to record and reflect on the go rather than waiting until you are at your desk. The new platform is linked to your RCVS ‘My Account’ so you will only need one set of login details to access all your RCVS information.

No, 1CPD, the new digital recording platform replaced the PDR in January 2020.
All data in the PDR has been securely transferred to 1CPD.
-
1CPD data is secured using industry-standard mechanisms. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Access to RCVS servers and databases is restricted to specific members of staff, and firewalls restrict traffic appropriately.

Please refer to the 1CPD Privacy Policy, which is accessible within the app and on the website.

We will not ask for reflective records from veterinary surgeons or veterinary nurses as part of our concerns, investigation or disciplinary processes.
However, we do not control the actions of the courts and recorded reflections, such as in ePortfolios or for CPD purposes, are not subject to legal privilege. Therefore disclosure of these documents might be requested by a court if it is concerned that they are relevant to the matters to be determined in litigation. The likelihood of records needing to be produced in court may be reduced if reflective records focus on reactions to, and learning from, an incident.
