Carrying out and recording CPD

All registrants should undertake CPD on a continuing basis, made up of activities that enhance their practice and learning

CPD is not about the amount of hours you’ve done - it’s about doing different, useful things to improve your practice and making sure you log them.

This is your personal record. If you are audited, we won't ask to for everything you've recorded, just details of the activities from the past two years and evidence to support them. Keeping a thorough and up-to-date record will mean that you can submit these easily.

What activities count as CPD?

Any activity from which you learn or develop professionally can be considered eligible for CPD.

Ensuring your CPD is effective and relevant

Your CPD activities should be beneficial to you and enhance the service you provide

Ensuring that your CPD benefits the service user

These benefits do not need to be radical and in many cases may simply be a result of improvements you have made to your practice

Finding time for CPD

One of registrants’ biggest challenges can be finding time for CPD in an overcrowded schedule.
