CPD and revalidation: a guide to getting it right

How can you make revalidation a straightforward task?

The process can feel like a mammoth task to many nurses and nursing associates when faced with their deadline to revalidate with the Nursing and Midwifery Council every three years.

There can also be confusion about what can be included as continuing professional development (CPD). Do you need a certificate for every learning experience?

This episode sees RCN profession lead for education Gill Coverdale discuss CPD and revalidation with Nursing Standard senior nurse editor Richard Hatchett.

The pair, who are both registered nurses, talk about what counts as CPD, how to use your own practice for reflection purposes, where to gain participatory learning and more.

They also chat about their personal experiences of undergoing revalidation.
