Continuing Professional Development Cycle
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a process of lifelong learning which meets the professional and personal needs of the individual practitioner.

CPD is much more than acquiring knowledge through continuing education, it is about applying new knowledge and skills to daily practice and doing so on an ongoing basis so that learning and good practice become one and the same. Ultimately, the benefit will be threefold - to the practitioner, the profession and, most importantly, to the well-being of the communities we are contracted to serve.

ICCPE has developed a CPD Toolkit to assist Irish pharmacists in getting their CPD on the road. Based on the successful CPD: Back to the Future roadshow run in 2005/2006, the CPD Toolkit sets out a step-by-step approach to making the most of all learning opportunities be they at a lecture, in the pharmacy or in the community.

Online access to the CPD Toolkit it restricted to ICCPE members. To access it, you will need to use your ICCPE username and password. If you are an ICCPE member and you do not have a password, please contact ICCPE at to obtain one. To view the CPD Toolkit, click here.
