Continuing Professional Development

CPD: What is it and how do I do it?

Continuous professional development (CPD) is something we all do all of the time, in fact it is probably very difficult not to engage in CPD. So, what is CPD?

• It is the process of learning and developing as a professional from what we do everyday;
• It is about identifying our development needs in order to maintain the currency of our practice;
• It requires that we organise activities to meet these needs; and
• We need to make sure these needs and activities are sufficiently broad to ensure that we remain effective practitioners.

If you have any questions or would like further information about CPD for Health Psychologists then please contact Rachel Shaw: r.l.shaw@aston.ac.uk
