Introduction
When most people hear “CPD funding,” they think of formal training courses or clinical skills updates. But Continuous Professional Development can go far beyond that, and your funding can too. Whether you're a nurse, or AHP role in primary care, here are five lesser-known ways you could be using your CPD allocation.
🧠 Leadership & Management Courses
Thinking about stepping into a leadership role or managing a team? CPD can fund courses in healthcare leadership, coaching, and managing change, helping you grow beyond the clinical side of your role.
💻 Digital Health & Technology Skills
With digital tools becoming central to healthcare, CPD can support training in digital health, clinical systems, data literacy, or even AI in healthcare.
🤝 Mentorship & Supervision Training
Want to become a mentor or supervisor for students, new starters, or apprentices? Your CPD funds could cover accredited mentorship training or clinical educator workshops.
🌍 Training on Health Inequalities and Inclusive Practice
Funding can support education around health equity, culturally competent care, and inclusive practice, vital areas in today’s NHS workforce priorities.
🧘♀️ Wellbeing & Resilience Programmes
Yes, looking after yourself counts too. CPD funding can often support courses on resilience, burnout prevention, or mental health in the workplace.
