What is CPD?

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) refers to the ongoing process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge and experience that you gain formally and informally as you work beyond any initial training.

CPD is a commitment to staying current: attending conferences, taking part in webinars, completing accredited courses and reflecting on what you have learned. Many professional bodies require members to complete a number of CPD hours or points every year.

For medical and scientific professionals, attending international conferences is one of the most effective CPD activities — it combines expert-led learning with networking and exposure to the latest research.
