The RCP provides accreditations for several of our established programmes and also extends the opportunity to learners on commissioned and bespoke programmes.
The format for achieving RCP accreditation is to participate in the workshop(s) or programme and then submit a short reflective assignment for review by a member of the RCP faculty.
All details of the relevant accreditation are discussed during the teaching sessions. The templates for the activities are given below for current delegates only, please do not submit assignments for review if you have not undertaken the relevant taught session(s).
RCP accreditations available include:
The RCP Educational Supervisor accreditation is open to all doctors who are supervising residents or for those who are soon to become educational supervisors. There is no need to apply, simply book onto a two-day Educational Supervisor workshop in order to be automatically enrolled for the accreditation.
Full details will be discussed during the workshop, and the facilitators are happy to discuss any queries you may have.
Attend the workshop before completing a short assignment. The assignment will be based on an appraisal conducted with your resident and should be submitted within one year of attending the workshop.
The RCP teacher accreditation is open to all doctors who attend the teach-the-teacher ‘Effective teaching skills’ workshop. There is no need to apply, simply book onto the workshop in order to be automatically enrolled for the accreditation.
