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.

Did you miss the deadline?
You have up to 5.00 pm on 23 May 2025 to make changes to your 2024-2025 record.  After that time, a new statement will be generated for you and will be available in our brand new recording system, CPDValet for Professional Competence

A new way to record your Professional Competence activities

As you know, the new Medical Council Maintenance of Professional Competence (MPC) Framework was introduced 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 facilitate the changes to the CPD requirements under the new framework, RCPI is implementing a new ePortfolio system, CPDValet, for recording your professional competence activities. The new system is very straight-forward, intuitive and we hope you find it easy to use.  There will be both desktop and mobile applications available.

We plan to launch CPDValet in week commencing 19 May 2025  and further details on how to access the system and begin recording your activities will be sent to you once CPDValet is available.
