Category 2 Reviewing Performance / CPD Handbook

CPD Categories and Activities

For the purposes of increasing diversity of activities for a broad CPD learning experience, the hours allocated for activities are maximum claimable hours (highlighted with an *) that can be used towards the CPD requirement. You may perform additional hours in these activities though only the maximum claimable hours will be used in the calculation of the CPD requirement.

The tables below lists approved activities and their maximum claimable* hour allocations. When entering CPD hours, for other approved activities that do not fit into the general activity titles listed below, you can select ‘Other Reviewing performance activity not covered above’.

Category 2: Reviewing Performance - minimum of 5 hours

This involves reflective practice, which includes the professional development plan, peer review activities, patient and practice surveys, quality assurance, risk management and participation in RANZCO committees. This also includes cultural competency, medicolegal peer reviews and reporting activities. You must complete a minimum of 5 hours of Reviewing Performance. 25 hours must be achieved and this can include hours combined with Measuring Outcomes.

Peer Review Practice Visit: A peer review practice visit is an alternative to a formal audit of surgical or medical care. You can claim 12.5* hours as either a host or a visitor. Visit https://lms.ranzco.edu/course/view.php?id=165 for more information.

Medico-Legal Reports: Those who specialize in medico-legal services may submit and/or peer review medico-legal reports to fulfil the requirement and can claim 5* hours per report. These reports should be de-identified due to confidentiality.

Audit/Peer Review Meeting: A formal meeting or webinar should have a Chair and a written record. Data and results analysis should be available for discussion. Self-reflection of one’s performance in comparison to peer data can also be performed. Recommendations for implementing practice changes should be recorded. Suggestions for an effective meeting are detailed in the ‘Guide to Surgical Audit and Peer Review’: https://lms.ranzco.edu/pluginfile.php/10128/mod_resource/content/4/surgical_audit_guide_copy.pdf. You can claim up to 5* hours for participating in a Peer Review Meeting.

Health and Wellbeing Activities: Participation in RANZCO approved Health and Wellbeing activities, involving performance review and risk management pertaining to the scope of practice as an ophthalmologist. These RANZCO approved activities involve reflection, review, implementation of strategies to reduce risk and enhance performance, and does not include the actual time involved doing the physical activity that was recommended.
