If you are an NCHD and not in a training post, this scheme will help you fulfil some of your Professional Competence Scheme requirements

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
• and 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.

Get access to training and educational activities worth up to 20 CPD credits

Once enrolled, you will be able to access training and educational activities worth up to 20 external CPD credits or totalling three days per year, whichever is greatest.  You will be able access a wide range of clinical courses and CPD activities run by Irish postgraduate medical training bodies, including RCPI.

A prospectus of courses and activities that you can access thanks to the CPD-SS will be circulated to successful applicants.
