CPD Website www. sapc-cpd. org Guidance document Case studies Test site

CPD submissions • • • Web based record No assessment for competence – pharmacists’ ethical and legal obligation to ensure competence Assessment for compliance Portfolio of evidence – preferably in electronic format Council reserves the right to call for the portfolio 18

What if I don’t comply? • Registration status may be changed on decision of Council from practising to non practising Practising – performs functions which fall within the scope of practice for which you are registered 19

Practising vs non-practising Do you use your professional judgement in any way? Are you employed because of your professional knowledge and expertise?

Worst case scenario • Referred for investigation in terms of chapter 5 (disciplinary powers of the Council) of Pharmacy Act • Right of appeal 21
