Doctors, nurses and allied health professionals have to show continuing professional development to keep practising. Too often that evidence is a folder of PDFs and paper certificates that has to be assembled the week before revalidation.
What a digital CPD certificate should show
- The activity title and a short description of its content.
- The number of CPD hours or credits awarded.
- The accrediting body, where there is one.
- The date completed and, if relevant, an expiry date.
- A link where an appraiser or regulator can confirm it.
Getting started
Begin with your most popular course. Design one certificate template with the fields above, connect your LMS or upload attendance from a spreadsheet, and send certificates on the day the course ends. Learners keep every record in one wallet, ready for their next appraisal.
