Last chance to bring your CPD points up to date for 2018
The annual CPD year formally closed out on 31 December 2018, but members are reminded that they have until 31 March to make any late claims to bring their CPD record up to date before last year is finally locked out.
Those who have already acquired some points, but not sufficient to be CPD compliant, are especially urged to use the App to make their claims to ensure the required 10 points have been recorded for the year.
And don’t forget that once you are CPD compliant, the special roundel will be added to your website listing. If you have yet to engage with the IIMS CPD App, it is straight forward to use. The App is free and can be downloaded in the normal manner from the Google Play Store or the App store (depending on your device).

For anyone who has yet to use the App, here is a brief overview of how it works. Each IIMS member has a unique log in, the same one used to access individual membership pages on the web site. Members can (and do) claim points in real time rather than saving up a claim for months. So, for example, let’s say you attended an IIMS training day yesterday. At the end of the event, or on your return home, you can open the App to make a claim for 5 points for the training event from the drop down menu.
You submit your claim. An automatic email comes back to you to advise you that your points claim has been submitted and will be verified soon. At the same time an email comes into IIMS advising us that you are claiming 5 points for attending the IIMS training day. The IIMS Membership Secretary will click to accept or decline your claim. Assuming your claim is verified and accepted, an email is automatically sent back to you to inform you that 5 CPD points have been added to your CPD account and that you only require 5 more points by 31 December 2019 to make your quota. This process repeats each time you make a successful CPD points claim, with the number required counting down.
There is no limit to the number of points you can successfully claim in a year, but you will only be able to carry a total of 3 CPD points forward to the following year, which the app will automatically do. You can send attachments to substantiate your claims too if necessary. You will also have a record of all points achieved that you can refer back to at any time.
A word of warning. A number of CPD claims are rejected because they are not accompanied by proof or evidence. Attaching files and photos is easy through the App, so please be sure to provide evidence if required to avoid disappointment if your claim is rejected.
If all else fails, please email Dave Parsons at
