CPD is any learning outside of undergraduate education or postgraduate training that helps you maintain and improve your performance. It covers the development of your knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours across all areas of your professional practice. It includes both formal and informal learning activities.
Your CPD activities should maintain and improve:
a) the quality of care you give your patients and the public
b) the standards of the teams and the services in which you work.
There is no single correct way to do CPD. How you meet your learning needs will depend on your own preferred ways of learning, what you are trying to learn and the opportunities available to you. You should, however, seek a variety of activities that allow you to learn in different ways. There is evidence that undertaking a range of different CPD activities to address a particular learning need is likely to be more effective than one-off events.
Your CPD should be a mix of formal and informal learning. It should include activities that take place locally where you work, as well as at regional, national or international levels.
Some organisations accredit events and activities for CPD. For information about CPD accreditation and quality assurance of specific CPD activities, you should contact the CPD provider, your medical royal college or faculty, specialist association, postgraduate deanery or CPD lead
It places a duty on you to keep your knowledge and skills up to date throughout your working life by regularly taking part in activities that maintain and further develop your competence and performance.
