This guide walks you through the exact steps to prepare a professional, comprehensive, and stress-free response to the HCPC.
By following the checklist below, you’ll be able to demonstrate your learning confidently and submit a well-structured profile that meets every HCPC CPD standard.
This is your professional story.
Explain how your CPD over the last two years has maintained and improved your practice.
Use these prompts to guide you:
Patient Impact
How has your learning improved care in your modality? (e.g., new scanning techniques, better patient communication, dose reduction initiatives).
Keeping Current
How have you kept up-to-date with new technology, protocols
(e.g., IR(ME)R updates), or evidence-based practice?
Using Feedback
How have you used feedback from colleagues, patients, or audits to develop your skills and knowledge?
This is a chronological list of your learning activities.
Use a clear format. If you use our Ultimate CPD Logbook, this summary will be generated for you automatically.
For each activity, you need proof. This is not optional.
• Formal Learning: Certificates of attendance for courses, webinars, or conferences.
• Work-Based Learning: Your own reflective notes, minutes from meetings, case study analyses, or audit reports.
• Self-Directed Learning: A summary of a journal article with your key takeaways.
• Teaching/Mentoring: Written feedback from students or mentees, or your own reflection on the experience.
