CPD for Biomedical Scientists

Continuing Professional Development designed for HCPC-registered biomedical scientists. Track activities, generate reflective learning entries, and build evidence that maps to HCPC Standards of Proficiency and the IBMS competency framework — across all 12 specialties.

What counts as CPD

• Work-based learning — LIMS simulations, virtual workstations, case-based scenarios, all logged with timestamps and competencies covered
• Reflective learning — guided reflective entries mapped to HCPC SOPs and IBMS competency areas
• Specialist skill development — OSPE preparation, EQA investigation, root cause analysis, method validation
• Professional activities — SOP authoring, audit participation, presentation skills, incident reporting practice
• Formal CPD modules — structured learning across haematology, biochemistry, microbiology, histology, transfusion, genomics and more
• Portfolio evidence — every completed activity flows into your IBMS portfolio with full HCPC SOP mapping

Every two years HCPC audits a sample of registrants' CPD records. Our platform helps you build a defensible, structured CPD profile that satisfies the HCPC Standards for CPD — a continuous, up-to-date record of varied learning activities relevant to current and future practice.
