CPD audits will resume on 1st September 2020 with Operating Department Practitioners. More information about CPD audits can be found below.
Continuing professional development (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.
Service update: CPD and renewals
-
Registrants will understandably be concerned about how they can keep up to date with CPD or have time to submit profiles if chosen for audit at this time.
Individuals should comply with their CPD obligations, where time allows and if it is possible to do so.
In the current circumstances, our Council has taken the decision to cancel the audit process for Physiotherapists and Art Therapists. We have since sent out a written confirmation of this to those selected for CPD.
If you are not one of these professions and have a previous CPD audit which is outstanding you would like to query, please email cpdprofiles@hcpc-uk.org. Please note that if you are awaiting for your profile to be assessed, this will still go ahead and we will notify you of the outcome in due course, this only applies to previous audits.
CPD audits for Dietitians, Chiropodists/Podiatrists and Hearing Aid Dispensers will not go ahead for this current professional cycle.
From 1st September 2020, CPD audits will resume, this means 2.5% of operating department practitioners will be randomly selected on 1 September 2020. We will contact those registrants selected for CPD shortly after the selection, to let them know. Those selected will have until 30th November 2020 to submit their profile. Information regarding completing and submitting a profile will be provided within our communication.
