Costs of Course Approval

Free Approval:

Courses that are arranged by the Gloucestershire General Practice Education Trust Unsponsored in-house sessions open to other GPs and Primary Care Workers.

Commercial Organisations £50 Approval Fee

Application forms from commercial organisations should be accompanied by the required fee of £50 made payable to GGPET.

Why charge commercial organisations?
The cpdforum website has been designed by Dr Roger Crabtree from Somerset. Access to the website is free. Maintaining it and keeping it up-to-date requires human input. In return for providing advertising for organisations providing educational material, (but using the event for commercial purposes), the Postgraduate Centres charge commercial organisations a flat-rate fee to offset administrative costs.
