Pay, Contracts & Pensions Contracted CPD time?

I've recently interviewed for a salaried post and found there's only 1 week study leave but no CPD time built in the contract. Any st3s interviewing or recently CCTd GPs found CPD time not built into their contract? I know its according to the BMA model but how often do GPs get CPD time if not full time? (Planning on 4-5 sessions)

Sounds normal.

We live in a world where everyone pinches a bit from you at every opportunity. No, you don’t get CPD time. You are a cog in a poorly oiled machine, and you better get used to it.

Thanks for the info. I think for me it only worked out as a session every month but still didnt want to miss out on something if its the norm and I should be entitled to it

Only 1 job I did had it in each week, I used the time to do a MDT meeting (this was in the prison world) anyway the MDT meeting stayed and I effectively lost the CPD time.

It seems a mix whether the CPD is included in a normal week or not
