I agree, but as an extra if you have a long drive they could be handy.

Depends what you are looking for ,I signed up for one a few years ago , which was a bit basic unit the last 5-10 minutes ,but you could say the same about presentations at Congress etc. I prefer a book ,journal or proceedings in my hand and something to make notes with, but I think its whatever floats your boat. We have a monthly clinical club and i am sure that counts as well.

Which ones are you using?

I really find them useful and they tend to be a bit shorter than some other types of CPD so actually think for me the " punch line " sticks with me better

Hi everyone , Are podcasts okay for CPD ? And how do you record or prove them ?

Yes they would be fine.

Difficult to prove any cpd - even if you get a certificate to say you have attended something or other it doesn't prove that you were actually awake or learnt anything useful.

Unless a test or exam is done after each cpd session there is no way of proving that any benefit was gained.

Anything is ok for CPD as long as you learn from it... (I emailed the RCVS to see if our practice meetings - where two vets talk through an interesting case they have seen, and present a bit about the condition - would count, and that was their response!)

I record all my CPD on the online PDR (search RCVS PDR). You can upload certificates etc to the website if they are given.
