Notice Title

Evaluating Enhanced Continuing Professional Development: Social Research Contract

Notice Description

The GDC is awarding a contract for our research project "Evaluating enhanced Continuing Professional Development (eCPD) scheme". This evaluation, which was directed by the GDC's Council, is being undertaken to help us understand how well the eCPD scheme has achieved what it set out to do when it was developed. The aim of the research is to understand and learn from the operation of GDC's eCPD scheme to date and from experiences of dental professionals. The objectives are to: -assess compliance levels with current eCPD requirements and the efficacy of the eCPD process (from both registrant and GDC perspectives) -capture registrant perspectives on the effectiveness of eCPD in developing and enhancing the sense of individual ownership of CPD among dental professionals -explore dental professionals' perspectives on the effectiveness of eCPD in supporting their career and professional development -assess the effectiveness of eCPD in identifying gaps in dental professionals' skills and knowledge -understand all the types and full range of CPD undertaken by registrants -provide GDC with robust evidence and insight to inform GDC's future development of CPD approaches and systems. This opportunity is now closed
