Many of the staff within CPP have experience of working in business and industry and/or have a clinical commitment to health, social care, or dental sectors, and therefore provide a valuable contribution to CPP's programmes. In addition, we have a wealth of knowledge and experience in professional practice and development so can support you to realise your potential in your working life. Our strong links with local employers and national organisations mean we keep up to date with important changes and developments in the workplace and understand the needs of employers and individual staff in relation to learning and development. CPP has strong links with NHS organisations including those delivering primary and secondary healthcare and those responsible for monitoring standards of care, such as the Royal College of Surgeons.

Our courses take account of the working circumstances of professional people; the diverse nature of the workplace and the obstacles professionals may face in taking up learning opportunities. Our teaching and research programmes will be of interest to professional people working in the public, private or third sectors. Our part-time and modular programmes allow people to study while working and offer flexibility in order to fit in with your personal circumstances. Our continuing professional development courses are flexible, with different stepping-on and stepping-off points, so that you can either take single modules or work towards a postgraduate certificate, diploma or Master's degree.

We offer a number of CPD courses in supportive and palliative care, surgical practice, advanced communications skills, research and education, collaborative and interprofessional working, and competencies for professionals and leadership. You can obtain further information about these programmes from CPP.
