4 TITLE: ACCREDITATION PROCEDURES FOR CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROVIDERS REF: HPCZ TR/CPD 2010 The Health Professions Council of Zambia Policy on Accreditation of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Providers and Programmes defines the general rules for all CPD programmes and provides annexes of application forms and rating forms for CPD accreditation. General Rules: 1. All HPCZ policies, guidelines and requirements concerning accreditation of CPD programmes/providers are valid for all accredited providers and should be fully respected. 2. The CPD provider must be a HPCZ-CPD accredited entity (i.e. scientific society, university, teaching hospital, research institute or training institution, other similar entity). All CPD providers should register with the Health Professions Council of Zambia CPD Accreditation System. 3. A Provider must provide CPD activities on a regular and recurring basis in Zambia. However a provider must: 3.1 Develop an overall CPD programme on its own, or in conjunction with another organisation. 3.2 Demonstrate an overall commitment to its CPD programme, including staffing, professional support, budget, and record keeping. 3.3 Plan to continue to offer at least one or more educational activities per year. 3.4 An organisation is ineligible if its programmes are devoted to advocacy of unscientific methods, modalities of diagnosis and treatment. Page 4

5 4. Cooperation with health and/or IT industry is allowed and must comply with international guidelines on commercial support. In case a CPD programme (CD ROM, Web CPD) is produced in cooperation with a commercial company, the CPD provider should have a written contract with this company in which the CPD provider: 4.1 States his responsibility for the programme s scientific content and take the responsibility for the absence of commercial bias. 4.2 Outlines the procedures to follow for the development of the programme. 4.3 Must ensure that there is a clear distinction between the HPCZ accreditation statement and the acknowledgement of commercial support. 4.4 A copy of the signed contract including the above mentioned clauses (or at least these parts pertaining to them) must be forwarded to the HPCZ office prior to accreditation. 5. The trainers/course faculty/speakers of the CPD programmes should be professionally recognised as appropriately qualified in the field or have documented experience in medical education (health professions education). All potential conflicts of interests must be disclosed and displayed at the beginning of the CPD programme. 6. The CPD provider must provide users with an objective evaluation instrument. 7. Only HPCZ-Accredited providers can issue HPCZ certified CPD certificates. 8. HPCZ accreditation is valid for 2 years from the accreditation date. 9. Acknowledgement and the logo of financial supporters may be present on the training materials. 10. Product/service advertising of any kind is not allowed within the accredited CPD programme. Page 5
