RCoA CPD Matrix

The CPD Matrixis designed to assist anaesthetists and appraisers in their appraisal discussions and to help guide individual CPD requirements as part of the personal development plan. As many doctors use the Matrix codes tolog their CPD activity, and to assist individuals in selecting appropriate CPD, the RCoA encourages event providers to map their programme content to the Matrix. The RCoA views the allocation of codes as a very helpful guide but not an absolute requirement to allow CPD approval to be awarded.
