Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Standards of Continuing Professional and Personal Development (CPPD) set out the minimum standards that you must meet to remain fit to practise and stay registered with. The scheme is flexible, enabling you to maintain and develop your knowledge and skills by embedding and building upon your company’s current structures for training and appraisal.
The Standards of CPD
As a registrant, you must ensure that you continue to maintain and develop your knowledge to demonstrate your continued fitness to practise. You must:
- Undertake CPPD activities relevant to your role and organisation
CPPD activities could include in-service training and development, appraisal, mentoring, or reading.
- Undertake company mandatory training as required
This could include your company values, and industry and company codes of
practice/conduct and relevant legislation.
- Participate in appraisal
You must actively participate in your own appraisal/review as prescribed by your
company.
- Refresh your knowledge of the Register’s Standards of Conduct
This includes Anti-bribery and Corruption policies, NHS values and behaviours, Health and Safety and relevant immunisations.
- Carry out product knowledge training when required
You must carry out training for any new developments in agreement with your
employer.
- Maintain a written record of your CPPD activities
If you are audited by us, as part of our systems to check you remain fit to practise and so be registered, you will need to submit this record and any supporting evidence which will outline how you have met the Standards of proficiency and CPPD standards.
Please see the LSI standards for more information on CPD.
