Dear Alexandra,

Congratulations on becoming an Accredited Vascular Scientist (AVS).

In order to maintain your AVS status it is a requirement to carry out continued professional development (CPD) activities. A copy of the CPD document detailing all the requirements is available on the Education section of the SVT website. You are required to accrue a rolling total of 30 points summed from the previous 3 years.

As you gained your AVS status during the membership year 2023-2024 you will be entitled to 'pre-AVS' CPD points which are added on a pro-rata basis.

You will receive 2 points for this membership year from 1st September 2023 – 16th of November (pass date)

10 points for previous membership year from 1st September 2022 – 31st August 2023.

10 points for previous membership year from 1st September 2021 – 31st August 2022.

Therefore, in order to maintain your 30 CPD average (and uphold AVS status), you will need to earn another 8 CPD points by the end of this membership year (31st August 2024).

Your CPD section is now activated. Please feel free to add any further activities into your area. If you feel that you have a CPD activity that is not available on the list, you may send a request for this to be approved.

Please be advised that CPD requirements have recently changed, and all CPD activities points must now be undertaken AFTER your accreditation date.

If you have accredited in the middle of completing a CPD activity, please let us know so that we can allocate CPD on a pro-rata basis.

Please add your pre-AVS CPD points in 3 separate entries onto your profile by ticking the box 'the activity I want to record is not listed' and free typing 'Pre-AVS CPD' into the activity box. You can free type the date (1st of September for each entry) if the calendar will not allow you to select the date in the past.

Every year, 10% of all AVS are randomly audited and must provide evidence of all CPD activities entered, therefore, remember to keep copies of all documents (certificate/slips of attendance/lecture slides etc/copy of your newsletter points) alongside a reflective practice statement for each activity.

If you have any queries about your CPD, please do not hesitate to send an email.

Kind Regards,

Amy and Ana
