Continuing Professional Development
CPD helps you maintain or develop your competence and fitness to practise, whether your development needs are:
- for the purposes of your role or profession;
- required by your employer;
- required to meet a specific career goal; or
- aspirational, to meet your own personal goals.
CPD is an important and essential requirement for registration with the Academy. If you do not maintain your CPD, you will be removed from the register.
The AHCS CPD Guide offers guidance of how to keep a record of your CPD activities and the types of activity that are acceptable.
Continuing professional development (CPD) is the way in which our registrants continue to learn and develop throughout their careers, so that they keep their knowledge and skills up to date and are able to practise safely and effectively. We set our CPD Standards that every registrant should meet, to ensure that their activities are effective.
