Continuing Professional Development: Professional and Regulatory Requirements

Recent years have seen enormous advances in the approach taken to Continuing Professional Development (CPD). This document builds on the existing policy of The Society and College of Radiographers and sets out clearly:

• The College’s definition of CPD
• The professional’s responsibility to undertake and record CPD
• The rationale and practical requirements for CPD accreditation
• The roles of employers, managers and providers of education and training
• The links between the College’s requirements for CPD accreditation and the UK regulatory requirements as set out in the Health Professions Council’s ‘CPD Standards’
