Remote and Offshore Medicine CPD's

Do you want to learn more about remote and offshore medicine but not able to commit to the Diploma or Certificate? Or are you keen to study on the programme but don’t yet have enough work experience in the field to meet the entry criteria? Well we may have a solution for you!

Due to popular demand we are making individual modules available from our Remote and Offshore Medicine programme as standalone CPDs each worth 100 hours of study.

These modules are open to everyone who has a relevant health professional qualification. You need this as a basic entry requirement in order to be able to follow the study materials. Students signing up for the CPD modules are taught by the ROM Tutors and study alongside our Diploma and Certificate students, undertaking the same work and assessments to the same deadlines. This provides a great opportunity to join an online community of professionals working in the field.

It is strongly recommended that you start with Module 1 as this provides an overview of Remote and Offshore Medicine, thereafter you can take any subsequent modules in any order you like, subject to availability.

ROM CPD FAQ's

Do the CPD’s count towards the Diploma?

Yes and no. If you meet the entry criteria for the Certificate or Diploma  then you may count up to a maximum of 2 or 4 modules respectively towards these qualifications. Any modules completed over and above this as CPD cannot be credited so it is strongly recommended that you reassess your options when you reach this cut off point and contact us to discuss it further.

Does it matter which Modules I take if I apply for the Diploma?

Yes, we can only accept a maximum of 1 or 2 optional modules towards entry into the Certificate or Diploma programme respectively so you need to make sure that you select your modules appropriately if you want them all to count. You should also take Module 1 in the first instance.

How much does it cost?

Each CPD module costs £482 (2011-2012).

How do I apply?

You can apply online now for the next available run of Module 1 which normally runs each March and September. Thereafter you can take subsequent modules as they are available, the eLearning Programme Administrator will liaise with you regarding the timetabling of these during the course of your studies.
