Annual Statement of Participation

 

Overview

Your Annual Statement of Participation is the document approved by the Medical Council to demonstrate that you have maintained a formal record of your engagement in professional competence, as required by the Medical Practitioner's Act.

Statements are based on the information you have entered in your ePortfolio for Professional Competence about your ongoing CPD and audit/quality improvement activities during the professional competence year, which runs from 1 May to 30 April.

The statement will show summarised information that will demonstrate whether you have recorded sufficient activities to meet the Medical Council requirements for the current statement year. It will also show summarised information for up to four previous years.

Statements are based on the information you have entered in your ePortfolio for Professional Competence about your ongoing activities during the relevant PCS year. 

If you recorded sufficient activities to meet the Medical Council requirements, your statement will show a "Yes" against the relevant year. If you did not record sufficient activities, a "No" will appear.

A New Way to Record Your Professional Competence Activities

The Medical Council Maintenance of Professional Competence (MPC) Framework came into effect on 1 May 2025. This updated framework continues to support good professional practice, with an emphasis on self-directed CPD tailored to each doctor’s area of practice.

To support these updated requirements, RCPI has introduced MyCPD, a new ePortfolio system for recording your professional competence activities. The system has been designed to be straightforward and intuitive, making it easier for you to record and manage your activities throughout the Professional Competence year.
