Let's face it, many Zoom Conferences are boring and it's easy to be distracted when watching them live.

Conversely, we've found that many of our ArmchairMedical members consume 30+ lectures (equivalent of a large multi-day conference), per month, every month of their membership.

How do they do that?

They use our apps to watch individual 30 minute lectures while working out at the gym (or home gym).

They use our apps to download the conference lectures (like podcasts) and listen to them while commuting.

Our Apps are also fitted with time saver technology, so our members can watch a every lecture in half the time of watching it live.

This means that doctors who listen to a lectures from a conference while they exercise, choose the time saver setting, and maintain the recommended activity guidelines of 2.5 hours per week, can watch a full 2.5 day conference every 3 weeks.

Imagine how many conferences you can "attend" this way per year!

Our Apps are designed to save your time and help you time shift your learning to parts of your day you have already "blocked out".

It's quite amazing the difference this makes!

PS If traditionally, you haven't always reached your 2.5 hours per week activity goals, investing in an ArmchairMedical membership will encourage you to be more active.

Maybe the best tablet for your health is actually an iPad attached to a treadmill or elliptical trainer?

Conferences included vary from year to year, however if you visit https://conferences.armchairmedical.tv you will see the events we have recorded previously.

You will also receive free access to every new conference we add, for the life of your membership, so you'll always be up to date!

No, you can watch as many conferences as you want for the life of your membership. We do not limit your access.

Many of our members watch conferences while they are exercising at the gym (or home gym) or listen to them like podcasts while driving or exercising outdoors.

These doctors regularly watch 30+ lectures per month, allowing them to "attend" a dozen or more conferences a year in their "spare time".

No, it is only limited by your phone's storage.

Download entire conferences and watch them when you don't have internet access.

It's great for rural GPs with patchy internet connections or for when you are travelling on a long distance plane flight.

Members also use this feature to save internet data when they are consuming the conferences away from home. For example at the gym or while in the car.

Yes, the amazing Apple iPhone and iPad apps as well as the Android phone and tablet apps are included.

You can download any conference to your mobile device and then watch it anywhere, anytime, with or without the internet.

Many of our members consume most of their conferences on the apps.

Listening to conferences like podcasts in the car, or watching them while exercising in the gym or home gym.

The 2023-2025 CPD Triennium has made it more efficient for you to upload your CPD rather than waiting for providers to do it.

This is also what gives us the flexibility to create Personalised CPD 'Just for you'. 

RACGP Members Can Upload CPD Points here.

ACRRM Members Can Upload CPD Points here

ACRRM Members can self-report CPD activities undertaken in your CPD portfolio. Simply login to your online profile and use the ‘My CPD Home’ widget. Reflective notes can be added there.

To add activities, navigate to the ‘My PD Summary’ screen and select the ‘Add an Activity’ link. You will then need to select the relevant category and the activity type. You will be required to complete all the mandatory fields and attach relevant evidence.

ArmchairMedical.tv contains over 6,500 lectures and features over 200 conferences.

Watch as much as you want, at any time that you want.

In the beginning of 2023 we introduced a Revolution in CPD called 'Personalised CPD'.

With this you are able to create your own CPD featuring EXACTLY what you want to learn.

Choose from broad topic areas when you join and our team will work with you to create a personalised CPD program just for you.

On Zoom or via email, our team will help narrow down the 6,500+ lectures into a manageable and perfectly suited to you CPD course (the exact duration of the course is up to you).

Once complete, it's easy to self claim your CPD through RACGP, ACRRM or even international societies.

Many of our existing members practice in rural or remote areas.

If you are usually eligible for CPD grants because of where you practice, you should be able to claim your costs back from the grant providers.

When you join, we will work with you to create a Personalised CPD course for you that allows you to choose EXACTLY what you want to learn and should therefore be eligible for full grant reimbursement subject to the grant providers usual T&Cs*

*Grant funding is applicable to health care providers in private practice, a non-government or not-for-profit organisation
within a MMM 3-7 location, (MMM 2-7 in Victoria or the Northern Territory) or an Aboriginal Medical Service (AMS), Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHO) in a MMM 1-7 location.

Courses must represent good value for money and address the needs of your local community, which the personalised CPD Course will be.

You can find out more about the Personalised CPD Course in the FAQ "What is personalised CPD"
