Apply for Health and Social Care CPD Standalone Modules
Our wide range of CPD modules can be studied individually. Following completion, you can continue your studies with other modules and work towards an 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.
Applications for self-funded Health and Social Care CPD modules should be made directly to the Faculty of Health and Social Care’s CPD Team at Edge Hill University. Please use the Stand Alone Module Application Form See below if you wish to apply for NHS North West funded-modules using the CPD-Apply system.

Prior learning may be certified (from another institution/awarding body) or experiential (drawn from life/work experience). For more information contact the Faculty of Health and Social Care’s Accreditation of Prior Learning/Experience Co-ordinator, Jacqui Hitchen, on 01695 657027, or email hitchenj@edgehill.ac.uk
