CPD Programs
Practical, evidence-based learning for aged care professionals
Investing in Contemporary Practice
Continuing professional development (CPD) is more than a requirement, it supports:
- Better practice
- Safer care
- Increased job satisfaction
CPD is also:
- Cost effective
- A risk management activity
- Supportive of practice consistency
- Helpful in identifying staff requiring extra support
- A way to revitalise nursing practice
Finding the right balance between internal and external education is key:
- Internal training ensures consistency across an organisation
- External training offers fresh perspectives, updated practices, and objective insights
