From July 2006 it became
a requirement for
everyone registered with
the Health Professions
Council (HPC) to keep a
record of CPD.
'As
a registered health
professional, you have
always been responsible
for making sure you meet
our standards of
conduct, performance and
ethics. You are now also
responsible for making
sure that you meet our
standards for CPD.’
(‘Continuing
professional development
and your registration’
HPC 2006)
CPD will be audited by
HPC at random. Random
audits will be
undertaken, by
profession, starting in
July 2008 with
Chiropodists and
Podiatrists. Clinical
Scientists are due to be
audited in September
2009.
Audited clinical
scientists will be
required to provide
documented evidence of
two years CPD. This
document has been
produced to aid in the
recording of your CPD.
This document is
intended to provide a
suggested format for
your CPD record. You
may prefer to use an
internal laboratory
format or your own
personal layout.
It is advisable to read
this portfolio in
conjunction with
‘Continuing professional
development and your
registration’ August
