My experience of BU's CPD offering was extremely positive. The academic staff were absolutely outstanding and I was offered fantastic support and cooperation throughout the course. The sessions and classes were really effective and I have nothing other than great memories of my studies.

Why choose BU for your Continuing Professional Development needs?
We have a long history of delivering CPD (continuing professional development) to the health and social care sector. Our large portfolio of workforce development and CPD opportunities reflects current workforce transformation across the sector and is constantly updated to ensure that it meets the needs of our stakeholder organisations and students.
Our programmes are designed and implemented in collaboration with service colleagues, supporting the development of a workforce that is not only fit for the here and now, but will be able to lead and innovate into the future.
Accumulating credits
The Faculty of Health & Social Sciences CPD Framework provides qualified health and social care professionals with the chance to undertake units of study appropriate to their workplace while accumulating credit for progression to an Honours degree/PG Cert/ PG Dip or Master's degree at the same time. It aims to produce knowledgeable and skilled critical thinking practitioners who have the potential to enhance the care of clients/patients, and enable them to act as knowledgeable and responsible practitioners.
The units, based on the principles of evidence-based practice and client-centred care, are focused on supporting health and social care practitioners to critically evaluate what they do, and how they act, in a continuing evolving health and social care environment.
You can build on units to create one of the following awards:
• BSc (Hons) Professional Practice • MA Advanced Practice • MA Leading & Developing Services
We constantly review our CPD offering to make sure it meets employers' current needs. Contact us if you are interested in undertaking any of our units listed opposite.
Our CPD courses are ideal for healthcare professionals who wish to expand their knowledge and skillset.
