Why an annual plan
Resuscitation Council UK expects clinical staff in general practice and dental practice to update their resuscitation skills at least once a year, and CQC asks practices to keep evidence of it. The GDC recommends at least two hours of medical emergencies CPD every year. Care Certificate Standard 12 asks for practical basic life support training that meets RCUK guidelines. One annual plan covers all of this with one agreement, one invoice and one training record.
