Continued Professional Development (CPD)

We do not issue CPD certificates for webinars or podcasts, as we are unable to verify participation.

However, you are still able to record as a CPD activity as you normally would, detailing what you have learned and how the learning will benefit your practice.

When recording the activity, delegates should focus on the reflection and detail the following:

What did you learn?
What effect has/will the learning had/have on your current practice?
What further learning or action, if any, is needed as a result of the original learning activity?

If you have any questions, please contact the CPD team
