The BGS Autumn Meeting 2021 will cover core competencies around cardiovascular health, orthogeriatrics and rheumatology, neurology and movement disorders as well as the latest scientific research and the best clinical practice in healthcare of older people.

Distance Learning
For the 2020/21 CPD year there will be no limit to the number of external credits that can be claimed for distance learning. In addition to the maximum of 10 approved distance learning credits, you may add under the ‘Add Approved Entry’ tab, you may also add unlisted distance learning under the ‘Add Self-Certified Entry’ tab under the ‘Distance Learning’ sub-section. You will need to add them as an ‘External Self-Certified Distance Learning, Clinical or Non-Clinical’. Reading articles in online journals and e-libraries that are not approved should still be recorded as personal self-certified distance learning. Online mandatory training required by your employer should still be recorded as internal CPD.
Join the Nurse and AHP sessions being held during the BGS Autumn meeting. Members and non members welcome, and you don't need to be registered for the main conference to attend.
