Continuing Professional Development Modules for Health & Social Care Practitioners

Our wide range of CPD modules below can be studied individually or as part of an undergraduate or postgraduate award.

Many modules start in September and February meaning that if you miss the September intake you do not always need to wait a year to begin studying.

NHS Health Education North West-Funded Modules (CPD Apply NW)
NHS Health Education North West funds Post-Qualification Learning for professional health and social care staff under their remit. Staff should contact their Trust Lead to discuss availability and the CPD Apply NW system. Please contact your line manager or HR Department for details of your Trust Lead.
