GPCE - your questions answered
I attended GPCE 2006. How do I get my points credited?
Your points will be calculated using your Certificate of Attendance and these will be forwarded onto the RACGP on your behalf. You should also have been sent a copy of your Certificate of Attendance after the Conference. If you enrolled in an ALM, your points will be submitted to the RACGP on completion of the evaluation.
If you indicated that you would like to claim ACRRM points these will also be submitted on your behalf.
International Delegates will be sent a copy of their Certificate of Attendance and will need to apply for their points themselves.
If you require further information, please contact Larrisa Cunliffe-Jones on (02) 9422 2794 or larissa.cunliffe-jones@reedexhibitions.com.au

Exhibition Day Passes are also available. These are free of charge however will only allow you access to the exhibition hall and not the seminars and workshops.
How do I get my QA & CPD points?
The GPCE program is made up of 5 sessions per day with a mixture of seminars and workshops. You are entitled to attend 4 sessions per day (5 sessions on Sunday). In general you get 2 points per seminar or workshop. After each day just fill out the evaluation form and put it in the marked boxes at the entrance. Make sure that all details and especially the CODE for the particular session you attend is filled out correctly. Failure to do so may mean that you will not be allocated CPD points.
As you leave the GPCE on your final day of attendance, please ensure you leave your Certificate of Attendance in the appropriate box in the foyer. This must include your signature and an X alongside any sessions you did not attend. Please make sure that your QA number is correct as points can not be awarded without this.
Your Certificate of Attendance will be forwarded to the RACGP QA & CPD department for allocation of points and you will be sent a copy of it approximately one month after the conference.
