Professional Perspectives
Professional Perspective: Continuing Professional Development and dual registration
I am a nurse, thinking about completing my midwifery degree. What would be my CPD requirements once I am dual registered?
All nurses and midwives must complete at least 20 hours of CPD (Continuing Professional Development) every year from 1 June to 31 May, relevant to their context of practice for each registration they hold. For those registered as both a nurse and midwife, 20 hours of CPD is required for each registration. It should be noted there can be crossover of CPD, if relevant to both professions. For example, a medication module could count towards both nursing and midwifery CPD hours and can be recorded under each registration.
