2. What types of CPD are there?

3. Vast examples of adequate conduct amounting to CPD (e.g. presenting at conferences, seeking expert advice, preceptoring students)

4. How do you show evidence of CPD?

5. Vast examples of sufficient evidence of CPD (e.g. attending conferences, publishing papers, reflections)
