Continuing Professional Development
Healthcare professionals may choose to take a CPD unit as part of their professional development portfolio, or may decide to continue their studies and work towards a higher postgraduate award, such as a Diploma or Masters. The School for Health even offers a Professional Doctorate in Health for participants interested in carrying out research to doctoral level whilst remaining in employment.
If you are a practising health professional you may have been tempted to gain more qualifications but have been put off by the time commitment. CPD study offers you the opportunity to get back into the swing of learning without subjecting yourself to the rigours of a full diploma or masters qualification. At the same time, your study will contribute to your CV and your practice portfolio.
