Practice for sale formGPs wanting to maintain their registration as an ANSC provider must complete three hours of eligible CPD and a short, online form by 31 October each year, to retain their registration.
SWSPHN keeps a record of any CPD completed through the events it hosts.
GPs are encouraged to notify SWSPHN of any eligible CPD completed external to our organisation. Please email any CPD evidence to ansc@SWSPHN.com.au.
Eligible ANSC CPD activities are pregnancy specific activities. CPD hours can be recorded across different types of activities, for example, as a combination of educational activities and involvement on a relevant committee. If using an activity which does not provide a completion certificate, please provide evidence such as minutes or reflections from learnings and include the ANSC CPD hours being claimed on record.
