RAHPC CPD
There are minimum requirements of learning for CPD in terms of CPD points for every health professional. However, there is usually no limit. CPD requirements that must be met include a commitment to undertake CPD. Specialists with more than one specialty will have to demonstrate their commitment to CPD in all areas of expertise but the total number of credit required for the designated period of CPD is no more or less than any other specialist or professional.
