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.

RCP accreditations include:
RCP teacher accreditation (linked with the Effective teaching skills workshop)
RCP clinical educator accreditation (linked with the On-the-job teaching and Fundamentals of clinical supervision workshops)
