HCPC’s second CPD Week starts today (Monday 2 March).
Continuing professional development (CPD) is an essential part of safe and effective practice.
CPD Week (2-6 March 2026) offers a chance to reflect, learn and develop in a way that works for you. It’s a voluntary week and an opportunity to reflect on your professional goals, explore new ideas and learn more about the support available for your CPD.
Over the coming days we will be showcasing resources, sharing good practice and publishing materials designed to support registrants with their CPD. Make sure you’re following us on X, Facebook and LinkedIn for updates throughout the week.
How you can get involved
You can take part in a variety of activities throughout the week, from joining our planned sessions to choosing something that supports their own learning and reflection. Some ways to get involved are:
- Plan in some CPD: read, research best practice, or take a moment to reflect on recent activity.
- Arrange a workplace activity: organise a short CPD event, host a lunchtime learning session, or invite a speaker to share insights.
- Booking time in to discuss CPD as a team: use our conversation pack to facilitate a discussion, you can recap what can count as CPD, cover what’s included in a CPD audit, and share what has worked for people in the team. You can also run a team reflection activity (link the pack).
- Attend one of our online learning sessions: join any of the five webinars taking place this week - you can register at any time.
- Spread the word: share CPD Week with colleagues via your intranet, team meetings, or social media using the promotional toolkit
There are lots more ways to get involved. Visit the CPD Week 2026 page for more ideas and let us know what you do by posting on social media and tagging #CPDWeek2026.
