Dissecting CPD: A Simpler Way to Evidence Your Practice
The AAPT can announce the next members only webinar to be held on the 12th of August 1pm to 2pm
Continuing professional development is a requirement for almost every regulated practitioner, but for many it still means folders of unorganised certificates and a scramble before audit or interview.
In this session, Andrew, founder of CPDme, will show a simpler way to record, reflect on and evidence CPD. Drawing on nearly twenty five years of frontline healthcare experience and building CPDme into a platform now used by over 1 million professionals, Andrew will demonstrate how the CPDme platform helps Anatomical Pathology Technologists capture their learning as it happens, build a portfolio that stands up to scrutiny, and turn CPD from an admin chore into something genuinely useful for their practice.
About Andrew
Andrew Ormerod is a registered HCPC paramedic and the founder of CPDme, a UK based CPD portfolio platform now used by over 150,000 professionals across more than 120 governing bodies. The idea for CPDme came directly from the ambulance station floor nearly twenty years ago, when Andrew watched experienced colleagues send shoeboxes full of certificates off for a Healthcare Professions Council audit, only to be told to try again. That experience convinced him there had to be a simpler way for professionals to record, reflect on and evidence their ongoing development.
Since then Andrew has built CPDme from the ground up over fifteen years, working across ambulance services, police forces and healthcare providers to help teams turn old, difficult to use paper systems into something fast, structured and genuinely useful. He continues to work frontline shifts as an advanced paramedic alongside running CPDme, giving him a rare view of what busy practitioners actually need from a CPD tool after a long shift, which is speed, simplicity and something that doesn't feel like admin.
