To strengthen our profession and our standing in the NHS, as we near forward to State Registration, the essence of CPD should be of paramount importance to each Clinical Physiologist.
The requirements of the professional organisation is to ensure competency and expertise in a diagnostic / therapeutic field.
CPD is the means by which members of professional associations maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge and skills and develop the personal qualities required in their professional lives.
Continuing Professional Development is the conscious updating of professional knowledge and the improvement of personal competence throughout your working life....a commitment to being professional, keeping up to date and continuously seeking to improve. It is the key to optimising your career opportunities, both today and for the future.
Continuing Professional Development brings benefits to the individual:
The information contained within the CPD section will aid you to be proactive in setting your competencies and your professional development.
