CPD Ready
Advancing Emergency Medicine Practice
All UKACE courses are designed to support your RCEM CPD portfolio
RCEM CPD Policy Explained
Important Clarification
The Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) does not "accredit" external course providers directly. Instead, RCEM accredits the learning event based on the individual clinician's reflection and the relevance to their practice.
UKACE courses are "CPD Ready." This means we provide all the necessary documentation—learning objectives, content mapping, and certificates—to allow you to self-accredit this activity within your RCEM ePortfolio.
CPD Credit Value
Each course typically equates to 3-4 CPD credits (1 credit per hour of educational activity). You can claim these as "External CPD" by uploading your certificate and a brief reflection on how the course has impacted your practice.
We Provide Everything You Need
- Detailed learning objectives mapped to the curriculum
- Clear session structures and teaching methodologies
- Facilitator bios and qualifications
- Professional certificates of attendance
- Alignment with RCEM curriculum requirements
