Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Changes in health trends, policies and technologies create the necessity for health professionals to continuously re-define and improve their skills. The breadth and depth of expertise required by different individuals means that the traditional educational programme with a ‘set menu’ approach no longer reflects the complex needs of the students.
We offer a wide range of CPD learning pathways to clinicians and health care professionals, which are designed to support continuing professional development. The structure, mode of delivery, and level of support for our CPD programmes reflect our awareness of the learning needs of contemporary practitioners. The curricula reflect the changing focus of health care in the twenty-first century
The core components of our programmes are designed to ensure that you acquire attributes and skills which will enhance your professional practice. You may choose from programmes of modular study and stand-alone modules which
