K
eeping clear and organised records of your CPD doesn’t sound like a huge task, however, if you are not the most organised person in the world and tend to leave mundane tasks, like filing and admin, to the very last minute then it can feel like an insurmountable chore. If you are selected for an HCPC audit, you don’t want to be caught without enough time to get your portfolio in order, it will cause you undue stress and panic, so the best way to avoid this is to ensure you keep on top of your portfolio all year round. CPD UK recommend adopting the CPD Cycle as a way to clearly set out your CPD plans each year, to help you focus on the areas that will help your professional development and achieve all the learning objectives and outcomes that you set your mind to. It will enable you to manage your CPD portfolio easily and it will also help you to keep up-to-date with industry developments and innovations. 62
