Continuing professional development (CPD)

Medicines on top of table

The Revalidation Support Unit (RSU) develops and delivers CPD events and online learning resources for GPs in Wales, while also supporting the wider NHS Wales workforce.  

Our CPD activity is designed primarily for GPs, helping them update their clinical knowledge and support their ongoing learning. Many of our events and resources may also be relevant to other healthcare professionals. We work with colleagues across HEIW and with external organisations to develop and promote multidisciplinary learning.  

CPD Resources

You can access all our CPD resources through Y Ty Dysgu. The library includes more than 90 open-access courses covering a range of clinical and non-clinical subjects.  

We monitor developments and emerging issues in primary care so that our offer continues to meet workforce needs. User feedback and other key data help us evaluate each module and identify opportunities for improvement.  

We are committed to providing modules that comply with the Welsh Language Standards voluntarily adopted by HEIW.  

CPD Events

We deliver a programme of high-quality events based on the learning needs of GPs across Wales. Our face-to-face events cover a broad range of subjects and give GPs opportunities to learn from specialist clinicians and network with their peers. All CPD events are advertised and booked through Y Ty Dysgu.  

Our events offer opportunities to:  

  • update knowledge on a broad range of topics  

  • gain information and advice from leading expert clinicians  

  • learn more about national and local policies and procedures  

  • network with other clinical professionals  

  • support professional development and practice  

  • meet the requirements for revalidation.
