It would be worth knowing what reaction the Medical Board of Australia was expecting when it quietly unveiled its plans for the future of CPD last week.

When I looked this morning, there were 120 comments on the Australian Doctor website expressing varying levels of anger, angst and despair.

But, for the board, its re-engineering (or tinkering, depending on your view) of CPD has been going on for some time.

For those following its deliberations, there would be little in its latest consultation paper to surprise.
