Each activity is assigned Continuing Education Units (CEUs), and practitioners must accumulate these units to comply with HPCSA regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The CPD program is regulated by <strong>Section 26 of the Health Professions Act, 1974 (Act 56 of 1974)<\/strong>. This ensures that health practitioners continue to meet high standards throughout their careers, both in terms of professional practice and ethics.<\/p>\n<h3>What Qualifies for CPD Points?<\/h3>\n<p>CPD points can be earned through various forms of learning, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Workshops and conferences<\/strong> related to healthcare.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Online courses<\/strong> that have been pre-approved by the HPCSA.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Research and academic work<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ethics, human rights, and medical law courses<\/strong>, which are particularly important as they ensure practitioners are up-to-date with the ethical and legal aspects of their profession.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How Long Are CEUs Valid?<\/h3>\n<p>Each Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is valid for <strong>24 months<\/strong> from the date of completion. Practitioners must accumulate a minimum number of points within a two-year cycle to remain compliant. It\u2019s recommended that healthcare professionals maintain an ongoing balance of points to avoid any issues at the end of each cycle.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Check Your HPCSA CPD Points<\/h2>\n<p>Checking your CPD points is easy thanks to the HPCSA\u2019s online self-service platform.
