For Genetic Counsellors:
Evidence is required for your CPD entries. You need a minimum for 25 hours of CPD. We encourage you to enter more hours than you need to ensure the depth and breadth of your CPD is evident!
Acceptable forms of evidence:

- Evidence confirming a poster/oral presentation at a conference
- PowerPoint presentation, webinar screenshot or equivalent (as evidence of authorship)
- Publication details (as evidence of authorship)
- Sign in sheet with title of journal article and presenter (as evidence of attendee or presenter)
- Screenshot of journal club and webinars which include - title of presentation/article and presenter. If these details are not evident in the screenshot add the details in the text box. (as evidence of attendee or presenter)
- Minutes from Meetings, that demonstrate attendance and content of event. (as evidence of attendee)
- Written reflection
A written reflection is an excellent way to demonstrate your attendance, and the outcomes from the professional development event. A reflection should be included for each presentation or themed session at a conference if no other form of evidence of attendance is provided. Any reflection being used as evidence would benefit from using the following points:
- A personalised and specific reflection on the knowledge or skill learnt.
- How the activity may impact on the individual's practice or knowledge base.
- Optional: Discuss the relevance of this activity in career development.
- Optional: Discuss how the broader field of genetic counselling may be evolving.
