How to claim DAMAS CPD
If you have used the DLA system to implement DAMAS and have completed your first external audit of the system you will be able to claim verifiable CPD. The table below illustrates what verifiable hours are available.
If you are already DAMAS registered, any new staff will also be eligible to claim verifiable CPD, once trained in the DAMAS system. To enable you to issue verifiable CPD to your staff you need to follow certain steps to ensure that it meets the requirements of the GDC. For members of the DLA all the following information is available on the member’s only section of the DAMAS website to enable you to issue your staff with verifiable CPD:
– CPD Checklist
– CPD Aims & Objectives
– CPD Feedback Forms
– CPD Guidance Notes
