What is Continuing Professional Development (CPD)?
Continuing Professional Development refers to the ongoing process by which health care professionals maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge, skills and competence throughout their careers.
It is both a registered professional requirement, and a career development tool, ensuring staff can deliver safe, effective and up-to-date person-centred care, aligning with health population needs. All healthcare professionals have a responsibility to identify their CPD needs, and work with their employer to plan how those needs could be met.
CPD requirements
AHPs and nurses should refer to the following professional standards for more information on their CPD requirements:
