CPD Online is the learning resource for mental health professionals from the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
We provide a range of online learning modules and podcasts. These provide a flexible, interactive way of keeping up to date with progress in mental health, and complement the College's other long-established CPD activities such as Advances in Psychiatric Treatment.
College members may use CPD Online for up to 10 external CPD points in the UK and Ireland. More about CPD requirements
Modules last between 30 to 90 minutes, and we add new modules and podcasts to the website regularly. Access to the modules is through annual subscription (discounted for APT subscribers) but we also offer a series of free modules for you to trial first.
