Sections

New Policy for CPD

CPD SubmissionsContinuing Professional Development (CPD) is a process of self-assessment, selfdirected, life-long learning that complements formal undergraduate and postgraduate education and training. It enables psychiatrists to acquire new knowledge and skills as well as to maintain and improve their standards across all areas of their practice.



Advances in Psychiatric Treatment

An innovative bi-monthly journal has been designed to promote continuing professional development in psychiatry. It is available in print and online.
 

CPD Online

CPD Online is the learning resource for mental health professionals from the Royal College of Psychiatrists. College members may use CPD Online for up to 25 CPD points in the UK. For more information visit the CPD Online website.
