You can complete our prize draw CPD questionnaire to be in with the chance of winning a £50 book token, and you can also write a practice profile based on a CPD article in Nursing Standard. The practice profiles are offered to the Royal College of Nursing for assessment, and a successful submission will receive a certificate of learning to add to your professional portfolio.
Every week in Nursing Standard there is a new CPD 'Learning Zone' article on which our multiple choice prize draw is based. You can test yourself and submit your answers online for entry into the weekly prize draw. Go straight to this week's questionnaire
Write a Practice Profile
Learning Zone (CPD) articles in Nursing Standard are designed to test and update your knowledge. We invite you to read and reflect on one of these articles, and then write a practice profile based upon that article, and how it helped improve your professional development. You do not have to be a member of the Royal College of Nursing for your profile to be accepted for assessment.
