Professional Competence Schemes are offered by the training bodies to support doctors to meet their CPD requirements. The appropriate body for your specialty can be found here. To support NCHDs in meeting these requirements a support scheme has been put in place. The Continuous Professional Development Support Scheme (CPD-SS) is an educational programme open to all NCHDs working in the public health service who
- are in non-training posts
- hold a 2010 NCHD contract with the HSE
- are registered on a Professional Competence Scheme.
The CPD-SS is funded by the HSE. It helps you enhance your clinical knowledge and skills and fulfil some of your Professional Competence Scheme requirements in line with Medical Council requirements. Enrolment is free of charge. The closing date for enrolment on the scheme in your respective training body is usually at the end of September.
