The aim of this short course is to recognise, give academic credit for and promote Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
This course will enable any healthcare professional to utilise their own clinical experience, to gain academic credit and development at Level 6.
The course enables acknowledgement of CPD through description, contextualisation and rationalisation of learning achievements. You'll be an independent learner and will identify your individual learning objectives with guidance and negotiation through tutorials with the module leader.

You will be required to complete a portfolio of practice (3000 words) for your assessment.

You will need to be a registered health professional – Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) or Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
