Sample profiles
If you are selected for audit, you will need to send us a profile showing how your CPD activities meet our CPD standards. Here, you can download example profiles from different professions, which we have produced in partnership with the professional bodies, to show how you can meet our standards for CPD.
What is a profile?
If you are audited, we will ask you to complete a profile to show us how you meet our standards of CPD. It includes a summary of your practice, a statement about how your CPD meets our standards, and supporting evidence.
About the profiles
These example profiles have been put together by the HPC and professional bodies, to give examples of how registrants in different settings, doing different kinds of activities could show how they meet our standards of CPD if they were selected for audit.
These profiles are provided not as ‘ideal’ examples of CPD, but instead to illustrate how there are a variety of different ways of meeting our standards, depending on how and where you practise your profession. We would encourage you to read profiles from other professions, since you may find useful examples of types of CPD and ways of showing how the standards are met from outside your profession.
Other profiles
We were delighted that so many professional bodies were willing to work with us on this joint project. The profiles published below are those that the professional bodies have been able to produce so far; we are working to publish profiles for each profession we regulate and are working with professional bodies to achieve this. We will publish further profiles here as soon as they are available.
We would like to thank professional bodies for working with us on these profiles, and particularly those organisations whose profiles are now published below.

How these profiles were put together
The Council agreed to set up a Professional Liaison Group (PLG) to produce more information for registrants about our CPD standards, and the audit process. This group drafted two information documents for registrants, and agreed to ask the professional bodies for their assistance in putting together example CPD profiles. We initially approached professional bodies from every profession in the summer 2005, and were pleased that they were willing to work with us to provide this information. Each professional body was asked to draft a CPD profile, which was then considered by PLG members against the CPD standards, and re-drafted as appropriate before being agreed by the Education and Training Committee for publication. We also held a discussion meeting with professional bodies in February 2006, where we asked for feedback on our draft CPD documents, and discussed the draft profiles that were available.
