Please note: The change in CPD question format comes from the accreditation bodies, who have informed us that CPD questionnaires must 
consist of a minimum of 5 questions, 80% of which should be MCQs with a minimum of 4 options and only 20% of which may now be in the 
form of ‘True or false’ answers. 

MCQs may be of ‘single correct answer’ or ‘multiple correct answer’ format. Where the question states that more than one answer is correct, 
mark more than one of a, b, c or d (anything from two to all answers may be correct). For example, in Question 1, if you think that a, b and c are 
correct (note that these are not necessarily the correct answers), mark each of these on the answer form. Where the question states that only one 
answer is correct, mark the single answer that you think is correct.
