Benefits include: - Syncs with the existing web-based CPD diary system. - Access to our list of approved activities (over 5000 events) reviewed by a network of consultant physicians. - Add educational activities whilst ‘on the go’ with online/offline capability. - Voice transcribe your development needs and reflections instantly. - Add attachments as supporting information to your activities (such as a certificate of attendance.) - Add personal development needs and assign activities to Good Medical Practice (GMP) domains. - E-mail yourself your annual appraisal report as a PDF file at the press of a button.
