CPD Online is the learning resource for mental health professionals from the Royal College of Psychiatrists. 

As self-teaching and flexible working has become increasingly important, there has also developed a growing demand for online learning. We are pleased to respond to this need by offering a wealth of online learning modules and podcasts covering a vast range of topics. These provide a flexible, interactive way of keeping up to date with progress in mental health, and complement the College's other long-established CPD activities such as Advances in Psychiatric Treatment.

College members may use CPD Online for up to 25 external CPD credits in the UK. This number changed in January 2012 from the previous limit of 10 external credits. For more information about CPD, please read the College report (CR157): Good Psychiatric Practice: Continuing Professional Development or visit the Continuing Professional Development area of the College website. 

Our modules last between 30 minutes to 90 minutes, and we add new modules and podcasts to the website regularly.

We extend a warm invitation to all mental health professionals and hope that you enjoy this learning experience.
