Free CPD Opportunities | Sonic Education
To help support Continuing Professional Development (CPD), IPN Medical Centres works with Sonic Healthcare to deliver face to face and online events and seminars to GPs across Australia.
Through their platform Sonic Education, Sonic Healthcare provides a variety of educational opportunities, including conferences, surgical audits, seminars and multidisciplinary meetings that focus on knowledge and skills, reviewing performance and measuring outcomes.
Sonic Education is excited to announce their new online course, Foundation Certificate of Men’s Health. This course is approved by the RACGP as a CPD Accredited Activity for 40 points, and with ACRRM for 14 Educational and 13 Performance review hours. The Foundation Certificate of Men’s Health will equip GPs with a comprehensive understanding of men’s health issues, including crucial areas, such as prostate conditions and prostate cancer, STDs, smoking and alcohol use and the health impacts of these behaviours on health and wellbeing in men.

CPD/PDP Changes | 2020-2022 Triennium
CPD is an obligation for all general practitioners and is a registration requirement of the Medical Board of Australia (MBA). Learn more about changes to the RACGP CPD program and the ACRRM Professional Development Program for the 2020-2022 triennium below.
RACGP CPD Program
Sonic Healthcare is proud to partner with the RACGP in the delivery of education to GPs in order to maintain and improve provision of care for the community. IPN and Sonic Healthcare are committed to providing a comprehensive medical education program, specifically relevant to general practice, and is an approved CPD Education Provider of the RACGP in the 2020–2022 triennium.

ACRRM Professional Development Program
Sonic Healthcare is also a provider of ACRRM-approved activities in the 2020–2022 triennium. The College's standards for professional development require accredited educational activities to be assessed against the PDP (Professional Development Program) framework and curriculum.
Our accredited activities have undertaken quality improvement processes and audits, to provide assurance of the quality of the education and adherence to ACRRM standards.
