Much of what you do every day will be CPD. It's not just about attending courses or watching webinars, but can include a wide range of activities, such as listening to podcasts, coaching, problem solving, reading articles and learning from your colleagues. Maintaining your CPD strengthens your professional credibility. It provides you with the skills and knowledge you need to do your role more effectively and prepares you for the challenges ahead.
