CPD Points
RANZCO Fellows who attend the RANZCO 2011 Annual Scientific Congress will be able to claim 7 CPD points per day under Clinical Expertise Level 1. Additional points may not be claimed for individual events within the Congress program. However, those Fellows who attend the workshop “The Complaining Patient” on Saturday, 19 November 2011, prior to the Congress would be eligible to claim an additional 2 CPD points under Risk Management and Clinical Governance Level 1.
