Practice development framework
Our framework comprises tailor-made continuing professional development (CPD) for all health care professionals including nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiographers, paramedics as well as non-qualified staff working in the health and social care sector.
What are practice development courses?

There are different and flexible funding options available – with the option to pay on a module by module basis or via a student loan.
