Free Radiographers CPD Logbook | HCPC Audit-Ready Template

Stay Organised, Reflect Effectively, and Be HCPC Audit-Ready - Every Single Time

Let’s be honest - most radiographers are doing CPD every day… they just aren’t recording it.

You teach students, attend training, discuss complex cases, and read new IR(ME)R updates all of which count as CPD.

But when the HCPC message arrives, the panic sets in:

“Where did I save that certificate?”
“What did I learn from that audit again?”

You’re not alone.

Across the UK, many radiographers lose valuable time and confidence because they simply can’t locate their CPD evidence when it matters most.

That’s exactly why we built The Ultimate Radiographers CPD Logbook a practical, Excel-based tool designed by radiographers, for radiographers.

It keeps everything in one place, automatically structured for the HCPC CPD standards, so you can focus on learning, not paperwork.

Why a CPD Logbook Matters More Than You Think

CPD isn’t just about ticking boxes for the HCPC.

A clear, well-maintained logbook helps you:

- Prove your professional growth during appraisals or job interviews

- Reduce HCPC audit anxiety with instant access to all your evidence

- Reflect more meaningfully on your learning and how it benefits patients

- Spot gaps in your practice and plan future CPD activities

- Show leadership potential by demonstrating continuous self-improvement

Every radiographer benefits from having a structured, living record of what they learn whether you’re a Band 5 newly qualified practitioner or a Band 8 advanced radiographer.

Welcome to Your All-in-One CPD Companion

This single document is your one-stop shop for logging, tracking, and summarising your CPD as a diagnostic radiographer.

It’s pre-formatted to match HCPC audit expectations, complete with built-in reflection prompts, evidence tracking, and a live dashboard showing your progress.

How It Works:

Log All Activities

Record your learning in the “Master Log” tab including the date, CPD type, brief description, and what you learned.

Attach Evidence

In the “Evidence Link” column, paste the link to your certificate or proof stored on a cloud platform such as OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox.

See Your Progress

The Dashboard updates automatically to show your CPD total, learning mix, and audit-readiness percentage.

A Quick Tip on Hyperlinks

To get your link:

- Upload your file (e.g. certificate or reflection PDF) to a cloud service.

- Right-click the file and select “Share” or “Get link.”

- Set permissions to “Anyone with the link can view.”

- Paste that link into the “Evidence Link” column in your logbook.

This simple step keeps your evidence safe, accessible, and audit-ready at all times.

Recommendation for Registrants

This logbook is designed to act as the index and summary of your full CPD portfolio.
