Spotlight on ... UpToDate and CPD credits

Did you know that when you view clinical topics on UpToDate, you are ‘awarded’ CPD credits? 
 
You need to have a personal account to enable this. If you don’t already have a personal login you need to:
  • Open UpToDate via the Windows start menu on any Trust computer.
  • Under where it says East Cheshire NHS Trust in the top right hand corner, click 'Register'.
  • Complete the form and choose a username and password.
 
With your personal account you will be able to:
  • Access UpToDate from a home PC or via the mobile/tablet app.
  • Bookmark your favourite topics.
  • Keep a record of your search history and redeem resulting CPD credits.
 
Once you start accumulating CPD/CME points, they will show in the top right-hand corner, to redeem them simply follow the instructions. You will need to demonstrate how you used the information through ticking a few boxes. 
 
Using UpToDate can help show that you are keeping knowledge and skills current and learning about the latest, evidence based developments in your speciality and is a great way of demonstrating continued professional development in preparing for appraisal or revalidation. 
If you would like a demo of UpToDate in your area please contact Clinical Outreach Librarian Holly Cook on: holly.cook3@nhs.net.
