To be awarded registration you must demonstrate competencies, ASPiH standards, and the Science Council’s code of professional conduct.

To remain on the register, you must demonstrate you are maintaining your skills and knowledge through continuing professional development (CPD).

When thinking about CPD, you are looking for any relevant activity that enhances your knowledge, skills and experience in your professional role. These can include formal activities such as:

• Training courses
• Seminars
• Workshops
• Conferences
• E-learning

And informal activities such as:

• Reading articles
• Attending professional events
• Reflecting on work experiences
• Shadowing colleagues
• Mentoring
• Participating in professional networks (i.e. the Special Interest Groups).
