What is CPD? Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is vital to maintaining and enhancing professional competence, as regulated by the HPCSA. It ensures that practitioners stay up to date with the latest advancements, best practices, and ethical standards in their respective fields. To view the number of points you require within a 24-month period, please visit the HPCSA website.
Our Commitment: We are dedicated to providing high-quality CPD activities that meet the needs of a wide range of professionals. Our current emphasis is on publishing article reviews, and we have exciting plans for expanding our offerings to cover an array of topics soon.
Your Input Matters: As this program is still in its development phase, we value your thoughts and suggestions. Feel free to share your feedback on the presentation, level of difficulty, or any other aspects by emailing us at RAD@ufs.ac.za.
