Stands and Components of the Framework

The CPD Framework identifies three main areas of practice, called ‘Strands’.  These three Strands are then subdivided into ten ‘Components’ of professionalism.

Levels of the Framework

The CPD Framework recognises a wide range of activities as valid for CPD and categorises these into three ‘Levels’ of CPD activities.  The three levels of activity – Level One, Level Two, and Level Three - are intended to reflect a ‘hierarchy’ of CPD activities that are based on the ability of the activity to effect and demonstrate change in practitioner behaviour and patient outcomes.  It is possible for activities that a practitioner undertakes in Level One to lead to a Level Two activity, and then to a Level Three activity.

Learning Log and Verification

Participants are required to keep a “Learning Log” detailing the CPD activities they undertake each year.

All activities entered into Learning Logs require the name, type and level of activity, the date completed and the points allocated. Level Two and Three activities required additional information, including reflection and evaluation of the activity undertaken.
