Change of Accreditation for PITstop Courses – June 2025

16th June 2025

We would like to inform commissioners and Healthcare Professionals who have attended or are due to attend a PITstop course that the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) has ceased its accreditation service.  For the past 11 years, our PITstop courses have been accredited by the RCGP, and we are proud to have maintained their high standards throughout this period. Our annual accreditation for the 3-day PrePITstop Foundation course, 1-day PrePITstop Key Message Course and 2.5-day PITstop Advanced Course ended with the RCGP on 10th June 2025.

Following this change, the RCGP has recommended the Personalised Care Institute (PCI) as an alternative body offering accreditation with similarly high standards.

After careful consideration of the PCI and other accreditation options, we have decided to proceed with the PCI accreditation application for the following courses:

• The 3-day PrePITstop Foundation Course
• The 1-day PrePITstop Key Message Course
• The 2.5-day PITstop Advanced Course

We are currently awaiting approval from the PCI and will update as soon as accreditation is confirmed.

Thank you for your continued support and we are commitment to continue delivering high-quality diabetes education.

If you have any questions, please contact the admin team on admin@pitstopdiabetes.co.uk

UPDATE – as of 1st July 2025 PITstop courses received the PCI accreditation. Find out more here
