Royal Colleges
314 The Royal Colleges have been active in promoting CPD, with publications including: `Quality Assurance: The Role of Training, Certification, Audit and Continuing Professional Education in the Maintenance of the Highest Possible Standards of Surgical Practice' (The Senate of Surgery of Great Britain and Ireland, London, 1994) [381] and `Handbook on Continuing Medical Education for Surgeons' (The Senate of Surgery of Great Britain and Ireland, London, 1995). [382]
315 The RCSE recommends the explicit incorporation of standards (such as training and CPD) into contracts of employment:
`Q. Do I take it from that that the College would in fact support the inclusion in terms of contracts of employment, contractual terms which required consultants to maintain CPD, CME, according to terms of the Royal Colleges' schemes?
`A. The College would support that 100 per cent.' [383]
