Continuing Professional Development Maria Lyon

Plan of session Opportunity for colleagues to; • Reflect on the reasons for CPD; • Share how we organise, plan and record CPD; • Organise and plan CPD for the year(s) ahead.

Why CPD? • To keep skills and knowledge up to date and so able to practise safely and effectively. • Formal courses and any activity from which you learn and develop; • Is a requirement of HCPC registration, so you need to meet HCPC CPD standards to stay registered. (HCPC website)

British Psychological Society Members are expected to: • “[adopt a] structured and self-managed approach to further learning through actively engaging in CPD, maintaining a record of CPD and applying learning to professional practice” BPS CPD Policy, 2012

Legal requirement for HCPC registration CPD Profile: Evidence that you meet HCPC Standards to practise: Standard 1 Registrants must maintain a continuous up-to-date and accurate record of their CPD activities – summary sheet Standard 2 Registrants must demonstrate that their CPD activities are a mixture of learning activities relevant to current or future practice. Standard 3 Registrants must seek to ensure that their CPD has contributed to the quality of their practice and service delivery. Standard 4 Registrants must seek to ensure that their CPD benefits the service user. Standard 5 Fill in and return a CPD profile and evidence of CPD when asked.
