Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

About

Continuing Professional Development (CPD), constitutes formal and informal learning activities through which practitioners maintain and develop their professional skills and knowledge over the course of their careers in order to ensure their ability to practice safely and effectively, whilst adhering to legal and professional guidelines. 

It aims to ensure that members' qualifications and skills do not become outdated or obsolete. CPD standards aim to support staff and maintain quality in members’ practice but ultimately benefit students with mental ill health by good quality service delivery.
