Our website will be undergoing essential maintenance on Tuesday 24 June, 8–10pm. A short downtime of 3–5 minutes is expected between this time while we complete the work. Thank you for your patience during this time.

Continuing professional development (CPD)

CPD is the way in which registrants continue to learn and develop throughout their careers so they keep their skills and knowledge up to date and are able to practise safely and effectively.

In practice, most registrants will carry out many different types of learning while registered with us.

CPD is not just formal courses, a CPD activity is any activity from which you learn and develop.

Your CPD activities might be work-based, professional, formal or self-directed and should enhance the service you provide for service users. You should make your own decisions about the CPD that is most beneficial to you, your practice and your career.
