If you still have access to your account, you can update your password via the RCEM portal.
If you’re locked out:
Membership account: [email protected]
Induction accounts: [email protected]
I can log in, but the site is blank
This usually means something needs updating on your account.

How do I access my CPD Diary?
You can access your CPD Diary from the drop-down menu.
You’ll be prompted to log in using either your RCEMLearning or RCEM account details.
How do I add a new CPD event?
On your CPD diary, scroll down the page a little past your yearly summary of CPD hours, and you will then be able to see and click on ‘New Event’
CPD Report: What’s the difference between Activity Record and Activity Summary?
Activity Record – A full log of everything, RCEMLearning activity and any external CPD entries
Activity Summary – A high-level summary of external CPD only
How is my learning recorded?
Once you successfully complete a module, your activity is automatically added to your CPD Diary along with a certificate.
How do I download my certificate?
Certificates are available directly within your CPD Diary once you’ve passed the module.
Why hasn’t my certificate appeared?
In most cases, this is because the required pass mark hasn’t been reached.
If you believe you have passed but nothing has appeared, email [email protected], and we’ll check it.

For anything related to your ePortfolio, please contact [email protected]

Why isn’t the CPD Diary app working?
We are currently aware of ongoing issues affecting the RCEM CPD Diary mobile app, particularly around logging in and accessing accounts on some devices.
Over the past few months we have worked with our technical partners to investigate and implement a number of fixes and updates. While some users have seen improvements, the issue has not yet been resolved consistently across all devices and operating systems. We are also exploring alternative long-term solutions to provide a more stable and reliable CPD experience for members.
We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while this work is ongoing.
Can I still access my CPD Diary?
Yes. Your CPD Diary remains fully accessible through the RCEMLearning website using a web browser on your computer, tablet, or mobile device.
The website version allows you to:
- View and manage your CPD records
- Add new events and reflections
- Download certificates
- Export CPD activity
- Upload supporting evidence
How does RCEMLearning activity transfer to my ePortfolio?
If you have an RCEM ePortfolio account linked to your RCEMLearning account, eligible completed RCEMLearning activities will automatically transfer to your ePortfolio.
When will my activity appear?
Completed activities are transferred overnight through an automated process. In most cases, your completed module or CPD activity should appear in your ePortfolio the following day.
What transfers automatically?
Eligible RCEMLearning activities such as:
- Learning Sessions
- Clinical Cases
- EM Quizzes
- SBA modules
- SAQs
- Other CPD-enabled learning content
may automatically transfer once successfully completed.
What should I do if my activity has not appeared?
Before contacting support, please:
- Allow until the next day for the overnight transfer to complete.
- Check that your RCEMLearning and ePortfolio accounts are linked to the same RCEM account/email address.
- Confirm that the activity was fully completed and that a certificate was generated.
If the activity still has not appeared after this time, please contact the RCEMLearning team with:
- Your RCEM number
- The name of the activity completed
- The date of completion
- A copy of your completion certificate (if available)
This will help us investigate the issue more quickly.
