Continuing professional development

We define CPD as ‘a range of learning activities through which health professionals maintain and develop throughout their career to ensure that they retain their capacity to practice safely, effectively and legally within their evolving scope of practice’.


Put simply, CPD is the way health professionals continue to learn and develop throughout their careers so they keep their skills and knowledge up to date and are able to work safely, legally and effectively

All registrants are required to record their activities in their portfolio and if selected for audit, to complete the CPD profile which will then be assessed by CPD assessors.
