This may help to support outcomes of CPD Now by College of Radiographers with the following supporting learning outcomes from the event:
[CoR 01] Practical skills
[CoR 02] Knowledge base
[CoR 03] Work safely
[CoR 09] Inter-professional/agency working or learning
[CoR 11] Workforce development or staff governance
[CoR 19] Evidence to support practice
CPD for radiographers and other allied health professions regulated by the HCPC is learning outcomes based, rather than points/credits/hours accumulating.
