Warwick Emergency Care and Rehabilitation The CPD Process

Warwick Emergency Care and Rehabilitation What is a CPD portfolio? This is a private collection of evidence that demonstrates learning and development as well as a tool for planning future learning. It is more than a folder with some certificates in!

Warwick Emergency Care and Rehabilitation What is the difference between a CPD portfolio and a profile? A profile is a public collection of evidence which is selected and extracted from your portfolio for a particular purpose and to present to a particular audience e.g. the HPC, prospective employer or higher education institution for accreditation.

Warwick Emergency Care and Rehabilitation HPC Profile Profiles for HPC re-registration should consist of: Front cover Contents page Summary of recent work/practice for the last 2 years (max 500 words) Documentary evidence provided by the registrant to support statements about CPD made in the profile (max 1500 words). See example for clinical specialist

Section 5 - Storage

Warwick Emergency Care and Rehabilitation What about my CTU Personal Development Folder? Congruous to your CPD portfolio.
