This takes account of concerns raised during our road-shows and in response to our consultations about how and which activities will and will not normally qualify. We have decided that in-house educational meetings which satisfy certain general criteria set out in the appendix to the Guidance Notes will automatically be considered as suitable for CPD purposes without any pre-approval.
