Following the introduction of paramedic registration and the mandatory continuing professional development (CPD) requirement to complete at least 30 hours of CPD each year. To comply with the registration standard, paramedics must complete a minimum of 30 hours of CPD activities in each registration year.

CPD activities should: 

• seek to improve patient outcomes and experiences; 
• draw on the best available evidence, including well-established and accepted knowledge that is supported by research where possible, to inform good practice and decision-making; 
• contribute directly to improving your competence (performance and behaviour) and keeping you up to date in your chosen scope and setting of practice; 
• build on your existing knowledge; and 
• include a minimum of eight hours CPD in an interactive setting with other practitioners.
