Continuing professional development

Continuous professional development (CPD) helps AHPs to ensure that they are providing safe and effective care for patients and service-users. There are increasing pressures on CPD funding for NHS staff, this page provides information on ways to access CPD funding in the North West, as well as links to relevant post-graduate training opportunities.
