Guide to using your CPD Log
One of the main benefits of BIOS membership is the support you gain to continue your education in orthoptics and develop your practice. This is not only a condition of HCPC registration but also key to being an effective practitioner. We offer a wide range of high quality CPD events, heavily discounted for our members. But we also now offer an online log within the members area on our website for you to record you CPD.
Recording your ongoing training is incredibly easy with our CPD log, but we’ve put together a quick guide just to explain how it can be used and what it offers.
1. Access by selecting ‘CPD’ under ‘My Account’ in the top right of the page when logged in.
2. Your dashboard shows the number of CPD activities you have logged against each category within the current HCPC CPD cycle.
3. By clicking on ‘Add Activity’, you can add activities, which will be automatically added to the current HCPC CPD cycle.
4. The free text box allows you to put as much detail as you require on the ‘Learning outcome’, you can also upload files, such as key documents and certificates. There is also space for you to reflect on how this learning has changed your practice – you will automatically be sent emails to prompt you to return to this after you have had time to put your learning into practice.
5. You can Add Attachments to your CPD entry, if it has been previously uploaded you can select using the list.
If not to add a new attachment please click the link, and fill in the form.Once an attachment has been added in this manner, close and remember to select the new attachment in the CPD record before pressing save.”
