One Day Essentials conferences

Designed for GPs - the College delivers over 20 One Day Essentials (ODE) annually, providing over 120 hours of free CPD per year.

These live, full-day, online conferences are free and available exclusively to RCGP members to attend. They provide clinical updates, practical tips, and take-home messages that will improve your daily practice and, ultimately, patient outcomes.

The conferences cover a range of topics from the GP curriculum including adolescent health, cardiology, gastroenterology, women’s health, mental health, neurodevelopmental health, pain management, sexual health, learning disabilities - and more.
